I have received two different opinions, and would like more if anyone
can help.

I have a heat pump and one tech told me that when it gets down to 28
degrees, I should switch the heat over to auxiliary, which allows me to
use the furnace, and not the heat pump. Another tech told me not to do this.

Which one is correct, and why?

Thanks.

This is Turtle.

If your furnace as you say is gas / oil / propane yes 28ºF is not a bad temp. to
switch at but i like the 25ºF Better.

If your furnace is electric strips. I set them to automaticly switch at 20ºF by
way of out door thermostat.
