Air Source Heat Pump Tips | Dual Fuel Heating
A dual fuel heat pump is a heat pump with a gas furnace for backup heating rather than electric heat strips.
Air source heat pumps have a backup heating source. In most installations, the backup heating source is electric heat strips. Electric heat strips are very cheap to install in most cases. However, while electricity is generally regarded as 100% efficient, producing it is more costly than other heating methods. For a more efficient heat pump, consider a dual fuel heat pump, or a heat pump with a gas furnace for the backup heat source. It will be more costly to install, but your monthly bills will be reduced.
Coleman’s mother company is Johnson Controls which is the same company that produces York HVAC equipment. Select Coleman heat pumps come with Coleman’s standard 10 parts and compressor warranty. Always make sure you understand the warranty. Especially when the warranty is for a major purchase such as HVAC equipment. Most manufacturer’s warranties only cover parts but not labor.
If the compressor goes out expect a large bill for labor to replace the old compressor. High Performance HVAC recommends you purchase an extended part and labor warranty. Extended parts and labor warranties protect you, especially for premium equipment.

Coleman Heat Pump was installed in our new build in 2016. First the pan busted in 2016. 2020 evaporation coils had to be replaced $1400.00, then in 2022 the compressor needed replacing $2200.00, and finally the expansion values need replacing. Quote to fix $1400.00. We refused to put another dime in this piece of junk, so we replaced with a Trane. Coleman parts take time to arrive and their units are nothing but problems and money. Your warning, stay away from any Coleman.
I agree Coleman heat pumps are a piece of junk. I’ve had nothing but problems, it’s been one of the worst investments I’ve ever done. $10,000 grand gown the drain with many service call. I’m going after the local company that installed it.
Coleman is trash. Purchased a dual fuel furnace/heat pump package. Have been through 4 blower motors, 6 control boards, and now the heat pump compressor is toast. Warranty parts take forever to get. Having this piece of garbage removed. Sick and tired of this tarted up house trailer hvac equipment.
Have a Coleman heat pump. It went out within 30 days of the end of the warranty. Service people say that the pipe into the compressor is too thin and they were unable to plug the corroded hole. Need a new compressor even though it works because of a pipe. Getting estimates. Definitely not on a Coleman product.
Coleman heat pump is garbage. Very expensive and 2 failures in 15 months. Coleman doesn’t inventory parts, so now over 4 weeks without adequate heat and high electric bills.
This product is junk!
