Thinking of combining a heat pump with my older gas furnace

Once the weather drops below cold, the heat pump would no longer be able to handle demand

I’ve been considering the installation of an electric heat pump for my home. I currently have a forced air gas furnace and no access to cooling. In my local area, the Wintertide is the longest season, with brutally cold hot and cold temperatures. I respectfully need to start running the heating program sometime in early November. It costs a great deal of currency to keep the beach house nice and moderate for several to seven straight weeks. In the summer, it’s not unregular for the temperature to climb up into the high eighties with excessive humidity. I’ve been trying to get by with portable a/cs in the family rooms and box fans in the rest of the house. The window a/cs struggle to keep up and the fans blow a lot of dust around. I’d enjoy to invest in some type of central a/c to cool the entire house. I could purchase a familiar whole-condo a/c that would utilize the existing HVAC duct. This would undoubtedly be the cheapest substitute I could make. However, I’ve done some research into adding an electric heat pump and I guess it would save currency in the long run. A heat pump provides both heating and cooling capability in a single unit. During the Summer weeks, I could use the heat pump exactly enjoy a central a/c. When the weather cools off, I’d turn the heat pump to heating mode. The program reverses operation, finding ambient heat in outdoor air and transferring it indoors. The process requires no burning of fossil fuels and is severely safe and energy efficient. It costs a lot less than running the gas furnace. Once the weather drops below cold, the heat pump would no longer be able to handle demand. At that point, the gas furnace would automatically take over. The combination of the gas furnace and heat pump is called a dual fuel program and helps to save currency all year round.
