DUAL FUEL SYSTEMS

A dual fuel system is an efficient heating system and an air conditioning system all in one. It’s efficient for heating because it combines the efficiency of a heat pump with the effectiveness and comfort of a furnace. And your heat pump is a reliable air conditioning system as well. This is an excellent system for someone looking to save money over time without sacrificing any comfort.

A heat pump is an efficient heating and air conditioning system because it moves heat rather than generating heat, the latter of which is a less efficient process. However, a heat pump can struggle in very cold weather, and sometimes the furnace is a better option for heating. When you choose a dual fuel system for your heating and AC needs, you’re getting the best of both worlds. It uses hybrid heating to switch over from the electric heat pump to the gas furnace as needed.
​
When you call a professional for installation or replacement, you don’t have to worry about switching over from the gas furnace to the heat pump when you operate the dual fuel system in cold weather. The hybrid heat dual fuel system does this automatically when outside temperatures drop.

Your dual fuel system is durable, but there is a lot that can go wrong, as with any other central comfort system. However, you can reduce the chances of trouble by scheduling maintenance services in the fall and in the spring. A professional dual fuel heat pump maintenance service includes a tune–up and an inspection, and you may notice a number of benefits:

• Reduced heating and cooling costs
• Better performance and comfort
• Fewer breakdowns and repair needs
• A longer system lifespan than you might expect

Eventually, your dual fuel system will require service, and we can be there to provide repairs when you need them or to replace your system only when necessary.
