So the second estimate was the same as the first but the THIRD guy basically asked me what my budget was and he would try to match it. I said 8K, and that is what the estimate was.

I paid 4,500 for a 3 Ton Rheem heat pump installed - 14 seer last fall, this did not include any ductwork or the coil which was already in place with my oil furnace that was installed prior. even still I would be floored if all that cost 10 grand... Covid pricing maybe?

I was not there of course, but this has red flags all over it.
An important part of installing one is the install itself, more so than the equipment. Even a simple screw up of the drain can cause constant issues with the safety tripping because the handler is not draining properly.

When I say he talked the talk, his description of the work was very similar to the other two salespeople...which told me he knows how it is supposed to be done.

Maybe, but I'm in New Hampshire and I actually got rescheduled quite a few times because the company was busy with getting furnaces and boilers ready for winter.
