heat pump

Entering our first winter in the northeast with a multizone dual fuel heating system. System is a Trane: XC95M Furnace, XV20i Heat Pump, and XL1050 Control. The heat pump has been fantastic, but now that its colder I'm curious about efficiency, cutover, and NOISE. Right now it is 20 degrees out...

House built in 1990, 1100 sq ft, 500 finished basement located in seacoast NH (heating 99% is 9). House is well insulated, not drafty at all. Basement was an upgrade done 10 years ago by previous owners and it is cold, even though it has a baseboard (too small for the space). Current boiler is...
