$1k for this system that works with my NEST Thermostat:

We originally had two zone heating/cooling in our house. Two separate heat pumps and furnace/air units. We used the a/c in the basement so rarely that when it came time to replace that unit, we went with a straight furnace. No heat pump and no a/c compressor. Our basement (walkout) rarely gets warmer than 74F or colder than 62F. The only part of that old system we miss is the dehumidifying feature. I installed a large dehumidifier in the furnace room that drains into a floor drain and a smaller one in our workout room, so those control the humidity quite well now.
