I have a new dual fuel heating system in my house (replaced my old
heatpump) and I need some help programming the thermostat. The system is
an air heat pump with and oil furnace backup.

The (Honeywell VisionPro) thermostat has an external temperature sensor.
I can set the thermostat to turn off the compressor and use just oil at
some cutover temperature (when it is too cold for the air heat pump to
compete with oil).

What temperature would you recomend?

I asked the installers and (as if in a comedy show) they gave their
answers simultaneously and they were 20 degrees apart. (seems like a wide
window)

The heat pumps is a brand new 4-ton Bryant Preferred Series air heat pump
(up to 15 SEER / 8.5 HSPF) . The slightly older hot air furnace is a
ThermoPride oil furnace in good shape. (81.6 AFUE).

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Oil is expensive. Set it to its lowest...15.
