Realized I could have a heat pump in a dual fuel system

I only need to use the less efficient heating opportunity for a month, sporadically two

When I first found out about heat pumps I got super excited. Both heating in addition to the air conditioner in a single system. It is ductless so that means I can have zone control in addition to no ductwork cleaning needs. No fuel I give for the heating effect. It is cheaper, cleaner, and the system isn’t dependent on fuel. The equipment takes up less space, is attractive, in addition to super modern. There also is very little service needed with it. However, I did find one con. A heat pump system can’ t provide heating if you experience temperatures below 40 degrees. Since I live in a cold part I was devastated. I started wondering if there was a way to have the heat pump for A/C in addition to maybe something else for heating. I then came across dual fuel systems or hybrid heating. This combines a gas furnace in addition to a heat pump. For most of the year I get the amazing energy efficiency of a heat pump unit. The heat pump does all the A/C in addition to most of the heating. When the weather just gets too cold, the fuel fluctuations. It switches from electric to gas in addition to tagging the furnace in. I don’t need to do that myself though. The system automatically senses the cold in addition to doing it for me. I only need to use the less efficient heating opportunity for a month, sporadically two. For the most part I am getting amazing energy savings with my little system. For colder areas a dual fuel or hybrid boiler is the way to go when saving.
