I've recommended dual fuel for years. Love how it locks out the condenser when the temp drops too low at night. When it's high 40's to low 50's and you need heat, the HP is far more efficient, but when it gets down to the 20's at night, the furnace fills the bill.
Another good thing about dual fuel is that if there is a power outage,the gas furnace runs on 120 volts. A small generator will enable you to have heat.
I have 2 dual fuel for my home and went to buy a new thermostat at home depot this evening and they only had electric heat compatible. Fortunately it’s failure is only the button to lower the temperature and it’s only set 1 degree too high. So to the hvac supply I shall go tomorrow. It was actually the install of both of those units which spurred my interest in gaining knowledge of this end of hvac. My next home I’ll be installing a boiler and hydronic baseboard. I’m not a fan of forced air heating.
Sensi Touch 2 thermostat has a user configurable heat pump lockout temperature. The Sensi Touch 2 gets the outdoor temperature via WiFi so no need to run an outdoor temperature sensor. I purchased the Sensi Touch 2 from Amazon. Installation was a snap for my dual fuel unit.
Hey Teddy, I've got a navien combi boiler for heating and a multi split heat pump system for both cooling and heating. Can I get both systems connected in one programmer thermostat? Thank you in advance for your response. Have a great day.
I'm not sure that's a good question. I'm sure there's a control out there that will manage both. I just don't know the name off the top of my head, but if I find out I will send you a message
Nice video and thanks for the information. So I’m learning how to become a home inspector and hvac is in the course so I have a question maybe you could help me out with? So I was reading today and I came across a dual system and I had to stop and think about what it was? I honestly thought it was a split system like this let me explain I thought a dual system was a heat pump outside that’s hooked up to electricity and a furnace that is inside and fueled by gas. So thanks for showing me the difference but I wanna know how I can tell just by looking at them and examining them to tell if it’s a dual system or not? So correct me if I’m wrong but it would be a propane running or fueling the heat pump and gas fueling the furnace right?
@@TaddyDigest I could not be able to find any content about this. I have baseboards installed and I would like to install a heat pump hybrid boiler to it. Thanks for any help.
I worked for an HVAC/R company about 30 years ago that did alot of work for York Int. They actually made an a/c unit that was natural gas powered, but still wasn't convertible to propane. Interesting concept but I think they were still working the bugs out of it. Do they still make anything like that? Just curious
Quick question what’s the “ m “ call for on a York heat pump the “ m “ is on the defrost board going into the 24v contacter but I don’t understand what exactly it’s calling for please help
Hi Taddy Im a hvac tech only on 2ton minisplits..Im thinking of buying the ""jumper king 24v short trouble shoot...my question is would it be a smart investment since I only work on 2ton minisplits...can you please reply!!
Its a device tat works with 24v it has aligator clips that connect to the thermostat communication wires its been riviewd by other HVAC techs in USA its to trouble shoot the 24v shorts to ground sold by Amazon."" Its called the "Jumper King "😊
Propane and Heating Oil dual fuels are great with heat pump. Natural gas doesn’t make sense as the gas companies charge a service fee each month that is 25 dollars in some places. Switch to electric water heater if you have electric heat pump.
I would really appreciate that!! Your absolutely the best tech on UA-cam thanks
I really appreciate you saying that that is awesome

The best video yet on explanation of such a system thank you. I’m in the framing stage of a new build in the northeast US
I install the hmh7 as well. Pretty neat. Our power company also offers up to $1450 rebates for duel fuel set ups. Really cool!
Good idea , since I did residential work for Kensington cooling and heating 20 year ago and like it
Excellent video. Thank you!
You're welcome thank you so much for watching
Another good thing about dual fuel is that if there is a power outage,the gas furnace runs on 120 volts. A small generator will enable you to have heat.
Thx for the info. We don't have ducting so we use a low temp Mini-split. Wish we could do this.

Nice job. Do you have any heat pump dual fuel hydronic system installed?
I don't think I have a video on that I will check though.

Great video watching from Paris.
Glad your here, Brother J
Nice job Tad ... Thx

Is adding a HP to an electric furnace considered duel fuel?
no, because the fuel source is still electric

I don't know what the jumper king is
I've never had one and don't know what it is so i'm not sure if it would be a smart investment.
