Hybrid or Dual Fuel Heat Pumps

Alan Volskay

I would like for you to settle a debateI'm having with a friend. We live in Savannah, Georgia - mild winters. I am convinced that a hybrid or dual fuel heat pump is ideal for our climate. My friend says Hybrid systems are not good products and says they are hard to repair and they cost too much compared to straight gas furnace & A/C or all electric heat pump. He also insists that they are "over kill" and not beneficial to the bottom line. Can you settle this argument?
