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.

Warranties | Goodman Heat Pump Reviews
Goodman offers average warranties for the HVAC industry. Some of Goodman’s premium equipment offers a lifetime warranty on the compressor with the remainder of the system getting the ten-year parts warranty. I can’t say this enough but your decision should not be based on a brand or on any fancy offerings they have for equipment or warranties. Your decision to purchase should be based on the quality of the contractor. A good contractor will stand behind the product they install. They will install it correctly and make sure you are happy.
