These companies make no reference of secondary heating required, I'm starting to think that systems needing this are probably not sized right. The biggest system I could find here was a 5 ton system. Which could be marginal for a larger house, an installer putting in two of these systems might have to price himself out of competition with a fossil system. Anyway, interesting stuff.

You are all correct and I cannot answer that question. But I will talk with the homeowner and ask him why this happens.
I do know what he did a lot of research before hand and the unit to the best of my knowledge is sized correctly for the 7K+ sqft home.
