Reply to comment by jayc428 in Estimate cost to replace HVAC by adig2021

I talked to 6 companies total. 2 never gave me quotes. 2 gave me what I didn't want. the two I considered the heating part was similar and they quoted me $15000 for a boiler replacement for a combi boiler and all new pipes, venting, etc.

the difference was the AC. at first I was going to go with bosch heat pumps but then changed to amana cause bosch supposedly has humidity issues

All of those heat pumps have humidity issues. The DX coils in them are simply too thin to dehumidify the air properly. They're not meant to dehumidify fresh air. Also nearly all indoor heat pumps are manufactured by the same company in China: Gree Electric.

Amana is USA but the parent is a Japanese company and Bosch is made by midea in China and just rebranded as Bosch
