Hey tads i’ve had me a lot during service work. You’ve helped me a lot doing service were very intelligent very smart and we will get service. I hope you’re having a great day man my name is RICHARD by the way up in Asheboro North Carolina.

[@davelindgren5245]

I'm about to sign a contract for 3 dual fuel systems. This was really helpful.

[@TaddyDigest]

Congratulations bro
Please share the video when you can

[@destroyer.e]

Good content on setting up thermostat for heat pump application. I’m going to recommend a new apprentice to your channel.

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you
So glad to hear
Thank you for sharing My content

[@jaybelsterling6048]

So what keeps the heat pump and fuel from running together? If you turn that stat up more than 4 degrees it brings on the Aux heat also?

[@jonwiersig5800]

Tad, what dual fuel thermostat do you recommend? My contractor installed a Sensi Smart (model 1F87U-42WF). That thermostat has no lockout based on outside temperature, so the heat pump always runs when heat is called for. I am thinking of a Sensi Touch 2 or Ecobee smart. These two thermostats use the outside temperature from the WIFI rather than a temperature sensor.

[@TonyRodriguez-ok2ix]

control board or thermostat can both control backup heat.

[@MichaelCromwell-y8o]

What should be the heat pump lock out for best efficiency if your from Canada.

[@eliazarsanchez9495]

Nice explanation from texas

[@edwardstout4921]

WHAT IS THE BEST EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE TO RUN MY HEAT PUMP FOR HEAT? i HAVE ALWAYS HEARD 32 IS THAT SO?

[@harrygilbert4593]

Trane due fuel furnace with American Standard Heatpump. T6. Wired like I always do. Heatpump stayed in circuit when I asked for higher demand. ODT was mid 40s. All should be good?

[@johnnyalvarado1495]

This helped clarify most questions. So if I were to use an 8000 could I use the honeywell wireless outdoor sensor via wifi?

[@Kman-hw9pf]

What is difference between outdoor lockout/backup heat and the compressor lockout/balance point setting?

[@TaddyDigest]

Same thing

[@buddynoel7760]

Great Job - Upper Marlboro MD

[@cdubs510]

355 compressor lockout / balance point is the temperature set point at which if outdoor air is below that set point the compressor is locked out and only backup gas heat can be used. 356 outdoor lockout backup heat is the temperature set point at which if outdoor air is above that set point the backup heat is locked out and only HP heat can be used.

[@dawnosborn8817]

that's a very loose use of the term "Heat Pump balance point" Heat Pump Balance point is when the heat pump capacity equals the heat loss of the structure. Calculated using AHRI performance data and Manual J form.

[@Hvacnc]

I never understood the 355 and 356 function fully lol

[@soloch69]

Great video like always thanks you for sharing great information 🙏🏻

[@TaddyDigest]

My pleasure!

[@garry9586]

If you drive the temp up on the Tstat with Dual Fuel . Is it supposed to lock out the heat pump and go straight to gas? Working with a T-9 TH6220WF2006. I appreciate your content.

[@usahoangsatruongsa]

No answer ??hello ?

[@Pathasher]

My man Tad 🙌🫡

[@scottclark2413]

Will outdoor temp be shown on the thermostat when the sensor is installed, regardless of duel fuel or conventional setup? Thank you

[@TaddyDigest]

Yes it will be shown.

[@wickedridge4x4]

Can't find that dual fuel thermostat with that model # TH6320U2008

[@tairdudeusa7981]

Call me old-fashioned but I'm Just a Bill Porter kind of guy

[@avtarsaggu9085]

Hello, I need your help in setting up honeywell thermostat thx9421r for dual fuel setup, if you could upload any video that will be awesome.

[@Dillonmechanical]

Awesome

[@matthewcarello9280]

Why is the balance point lower than the lock out.

[@stevemccord8233]

What happens when the outdoor unit goes into defrost. And how to wire that.

[@2012EvoXGSR]

W2 engages like it would for heat strips and bring furnace on

[@TonyRodriguez-ok2ix]

manuals

[@mikestevenson1819]

Not a fan of those t stats

[@TaddyDigest]

me neither
