[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks! Just to clarify, the settings for when the furnace kicks in can be changed. It's not that the heat pump "needs" the furnace. I think it's more of a preference if you want to use gas or electricity or a combo. We can set it to kick in only below 15 degrees if we want to. I don't know what is best. Will look for YouTube videos but maybe this is a trial/error thing. We are very happy with the heat pump so far, though of course it is early days. We used to have a lot of cold spots in our townhouse and big differences in temperature between floors in the winter. Now it feels very even and comfortable. And maybe less dry as well. Costwise I do get that heat pumps don't make as much sense if you have natural gas, but the federal tax credit helps.[/quote]
