The dual fuel heat pump system pairs an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. “Dual fuel” means that there are two heating sources that alternate between two fuel sources to maximize efficiency and keep you comfortable during every season. A dual fuel heat pump is energy efficient and offers an environmentally-friendly HVAC alternative to help you save on energy bills — while also being kind to the planet.
A dual fuel heating system is a hybrid system heat pump that works in conjunction with a furnace. During the warmer, summer months, the heat pump works like a high-efficiency air conditioner. In spring and fall when the temperature is milder, the dual system provides cost-effective and efficient heat utilizing the heat pump technology to provide the needed comfort. As the temperature drops in the winter months, the heat pump switches off and lets the furnace take over to heat the entire home.
A dual fuel heating system can not only save you money in the long run; the system upgrade may qualify for an energy-savings tax credit, plus rebates. Check with your local utility company and HVAC installer about available incentives in your area.
Dual fuel heat pumps can be a great HVAC choice from not only a home comfort perspective, but also as an energy-efficient and eco-friendly option.
