If the differential between the heat pump and the actual temp is too much, the heat pump will kick off and the furnace start up even when it is warm enough for the heat pump to work say 50 degrees. We set the gas furnace thermostat on 55 and leave it on in cold weather and if below freezing when we awaken, we turn it up to heat up the RV and turn it back down when it is warm enough for the heat pump to work.

Fire places are nice and provide ambiance but are just a space heater. You have to decide what is right for you.
