Dual-Fuel Heating in Minnesota: Heat Pump Plus Furnace
How a dual-fuel heat pump and furnace system works in Minnesota, and how to set the switchover temperature from your own gas and electric bills.
Read the guide
Heat pump installation in Brooklyn Park runs $7,500–$14,500, with a written flat-rate quote. The Edinburgh-area two-stories and newer homes north of 85th Avenue are good dual-fuel candidates, since CenterPoint's ducted heat pump rebate requires a gas furnace.
Brooklyn Park has three kinds of heat pump job. In the Edinburgh area, the 1980s and 90s two-stories usually have a gas furnace in fair shape and an original condenser near the end of its life. Replacing the condenser and coil with a cold-climate heat pump, and keeping the furnace as backup, is the dual-fuel setup CenterPoint's rebate is written for.
North of 85th Avenue, houses built after 2000 have tighter walls and PVC-vented condensing furnaces. The challenge there is airflow: bonus rooms and upstairs laundry sit at the end of long duct runs, and a heat pump moves more air at lower temperature than a furnace does. Static pressure is worth measuring before anyone quotes. In the south end, 1960s and 70s ramblers and split-entries often have chimney-vented furnaces and returns sized for heat only. There we look at the panel, the duct trunk and whether the furnace should be replaced at the same time.

Our $7,500–$14,500 installed price comes as a written flat-rate quote, with a 2-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts warranty. Pricing differs by neighborhood: Edinburgh-area two-stories swap a condenser and coil beside a good furnace, while homes north of 85th Avenue may need airflow work for bonus rooms.

It is a strong candidate if the gas furnace is still in good shape. The heat pump replaces the AC, carries the mild months and leaves the furnace for deep cold. We check the furnace age, duct airflow and panel space, then put the price in writing.
A bonus room over the garage is the hardest room in most houses because it has three exposed walls and the longest duct run. A heat pump will not fix a weak duct by itself. We measure airflow to the room and may suggest a duct change or a ductless head for it. You get the options in writing.
