Well all conventional air conditioners are strictly heat pumps, but when we say heat pump everyone usually means bi-directional heat pumps - ones that can provide heating as well as cooling. My Amazon results are not that and I was recently reading about them coming to market starting at $2k.
My wall mounted split systems were <$1000 AUD each, 3.5kw. Found a sparkie and a fridgie to do the install, set us back around $3000 for two systems installed.
Great units, added some wifi dongles and tied them into my home-assistant for remote / out of home control & scheduling.
Probably the best addition to our home currently, don’t know how we lived here using pedestal fans and gas heating.
Where? My $300 U shaped window AC is modern quiet, tidy and efficient, but I was reading about window heat pumps being $2-3k.
Search Amazon for “window heat pump”.
I cannot comment on quality or efficiency.

This one is $449 and clearly states several times it can heat with a heat pump.
Maybe it is full of shit. I cannot say.
