    That’d be on the thermostat end, and as the first post pointed out, a backup system is needed nearly everywhere in Canada anyway, so you’d have dual system controls anyway.

    If you set it to only heat with NG, there’s no point to a two way heat pump. Just get typical air conditioning.

      I was mentioning that because you can switch based on the cost of electricity vs gas. As someone else said, if you get a heat pump system you should have it functioning for many years and you’ll have the option of what utility to use based on what makes the most sense at the time.
