The thermostat is programmed to operate the fossil fuel furnace when the outside temperature is below a preselected temperature range, and to operate the heat pump when the outside temperature is above the preselected temperature range. Within the preselected temperature range, the fossil fuel furnace may be operated during certain time periods and the heat pump may be operated during other time periods.
