IMO dual fuel systems are not necessary in our climate now with Cold Climate Heat Pumps a thing. My new ccASHP had no issues with heating my house all winter with no other backup heat.
What was the cost of your Cold Climate Heat Pump, if you don't mind me asking? And did you also do a panel upgrade? As far as I understand it, we would get 3K from the province and we would get 4K from the feds with a dual fuel set up as the fed's program doesn't have a separate category for dual fuel systems.

Our panel is 125 amps, so the logic would be that if we have a dual fuel set up, we could probably get by without upgrading our panel.
