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.

A heat pump installed in Osseo costs about $7,500–$14,500, quoted flat-rate in writing. In the postwar houses here it is usually added to the existing gas furnace, and the chimney and ducts get checked before any equipment is chosen.
Osseo is a compact city of postwar houses that have been through several furnaces, with some older homes near the downtown blocks and duplexes and townhomes mixed in. A ducted heat pump in one of these houses usually goes in with the air conditioner and sits beside the existing gas furnace. If the furnace shares a chimney with the water heater, we plan the liner or new venting now, because it affects the order of work.
Duct condition decides a lot. Where central air was added later, the returns are often small, and a heat pump needs more air than a furnace at low speed does. We fix that before the install, or we tell you it is not worth it. Rental properties are a separate case: the city licenses and inspects rentals, and landlords with a duplex or townhome can ask us about a heat pump at one address.

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. A postwar house whose furnace shares a chimney with the water heater may need a liner or new venting, which changes the order of work and the quote. See the heat pump cost guide.
No. The state's IRA home energy rebates were not yet open as of mid-2026, so leave them out of your plan. The 25C federal tax credit has also ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025. Xcel Energy's utility rebates are the main program to ask about. Confirm the rules with Xcel.
A heat pump can work in a rental, but the numbers depend on who pays the utilities and what the unit's ducts look like. We quote each unit separately in writing so you can compare. Because the city licenses and inspects rentals, ask us to check the furnace, venting and equipment access at the same visit.
