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.
Frigidaire Heat Pump Reviews - Consumer Ratings | Conclusion
Always remember, if you purchase the top-of-the-line system you will not get the listed efficiency if you do not match the indoor system with the condenser. Additionally, top SEER/HSPF ratings do not apply to all sizes or capacities.
Some people will not purchase the most efficient Frigidaire heat pump even though it is recommended simply because of the savings on energy bills in the future. Currently, the mid-range efficient Frigidaire is a better purchase than the lowest rated (efficient-wise) heat pump. We encourage purchasing a higher rated (efficiency-wise) heat pump simply because electricity prices will likely never go down but will be ever increasing in the future.

Frigidaire Heat Pump Reviews - Consumer Ratings
I purchased a fridgidaire heat pump 18000btu. in 5 years I have replaced the fan motor once, and now the thermostat heat sensor , this year,but still low amt. of heat? and each time it has taken almost one month to get the parts,NOT GOOD .now im told thay don’t evan make this model any more …poor performance, kind of loud,parts issues, next unit will be of better quality.
my heat pump makes a loud noise when it switches to defroist so loud it wakes me up
I am in a similar boat as Adam. We recently had ours replaced. It kept having issues and was extremely loud. We have a rental and told the company we rent from about the issues but they didn’t seem too interested in having them fixed, next thing you know the entire heat pump went out. I think the initial issue started with a bad contactor. We have a different brand installed now so we will see how things go.
Have had a Fridgidaire unit for the past 2 years. Nothing but problems. After 8 months, the thing sounded like a plane taking off. Tech came out for yearly service, and said it’s just the way they sound. 3 months later, the compressor died. They tried to blame it on too much voltage, but I’ve had the power company and and electrician look at the input and out put, and both are fine. 1 year later, the unit is freezing up non stop. I will never buy another of these products again.
I have used a frigidaire heat pump going on 3 yr’s with absolutly no problems.Very pleased with unit.
I bought a home 12 years ago and it had a 2.5 ton Frigidaire heat pump installed. It never gave me any trouble at all. It was relatively quite. Installed right outside my bedroom window. I am installing another 2.5 unit.

I purchased a new home in 2010 and the builder had installed 2 Frigidaire Heat Pumps. The units are the loudest units I have ever heard. I had to have a service men out within 4 months of moving into the home. After several service calls the upstairs unit was replaced under the Frigidaire’s Quality Warranty. Which ended up costing me over $750.00 for labor and freon because that’s not covered by their warranty. Even thought the unit was defective I still had to pay to have the new unit installed. Then not six months later the coil had to be replaced at an additional charge of $450.00 because only the parts are covered under their warranty. Now another six months has passed and now there is a crack in the condensation pan. Which is going to be another $450.00 labor and freon charge not to mention the cost to repair the ceiling where the water from the condensation pan leaked on the ceiling and caused damage to the ceiling. I contacted Frigidaire/Nordyne to voice my concerns about this defective system only to be told that they regret the issues I have encountered but the warranty only covers parts. I would NEVER recommend their products to anyone and I’m a very dissatisfied customer.

I had a RUUD heat pump for 25 years and when the second compressor went out on it the repair guy said it was time to get a whole new one. Well I got a new Frigidaire heat pump 18 months ago and it has been a source of aggravation ever since! Don’t waste your money on cheap crap like this.
Please specify model and capacity eg 5 ton etc.
