    I'm a little afraid to answer yes to this question. Installers (in my experience)use what ever wires are available. The red thermostat wire should be 24V from the dual fuel kit or air handler and should go to the 24V terminal of the PC board in the heat pump. The H.P. PC board does need a constant 24V to go into defrost.
