Not sure why he had to wire anything.
Most tstats have an emergency heat function which turns on the aux heat.
With a heat pump, you need dual fuel in colder climates.
Either ng, lp or elect.
Elect is usually the most expensive yo operate.
And if not currently wired for it, you will need to run some pretty big wires.
If you are already using lp for other stuff, I'd keep it for emerg heat.
If no other appliances use lp, I'd still keep it for emerg heat.
My house has ng back up.
Would never consider replacing with elect heat strips.
