DUAL FUEL HEAT PUMPS
Our dual-fuel system offers the perfect combination of efficiency and
comfort with two energy sources—an electric heat pump and a gas
furnace. What makes this system so ideal is that it seamlessly
alternates between the two energy sources, depending on outdoor
conditions. A heating and cooling system all in one, the heat pump
functions as both a heating and cooling system, reducing gas fuel
consumption. When the outdoor temperature is above 40 degrees the
electric heat pump provides the heat for the home and when the
temperature drops below 40 degrees the indoor furnace provides the
heating for the home. Electric company rebates may also be available
which further makes the dual-fuel system so attractive. Although we
can usually use the existing gas/propane furnace and add a heat pump
to the system to provide the dual-fuel operation for heating and
summertime cooling, it is generally better to add a new variable speed
furnace at the same time for optimal system performance and
reliability.
