Dual fuel systems
Dual fuel systems are good for older homes that have a boiler with baseboard heat with a attic gir conditioner which we can turn into a heat pump but since the heat pump is in the attic that is not the most efficient spot to have a heater so we like to have the boiler come on at around 35° and it gives you the best compromise.

Tween just having a heat pump and having the oil with the greater comfort of the baseboard heat and the efficiency at the more mild temperatures of the heat pump without any back up or exhaust
Replacing Your Current System with a Dual Fuel heat Pump
Do you already have a central AC system for cooling, and a central gas or propane-powered furnace for heating? Is that air conditioner aging? Then you may want to consider a dual fuel system replacement. It will replace your failing air conditioner, and will add efficiency to your existing gas-powered or propane furnace. What makes a dual fuel system often superior to the furnace for inefficiency.
​
A dual fuel system replacement is a great compromise between a heat pump with electric back up and a furnace. Dual fuel systems, no matter what fuel source they run off of, are very efficient, save you money on your HVAC bills each month, and will keep you more comfortable year-round than any other type of system.
