A heat pump is a great year-round comfort solution, but when temperatures dip below 45 degrees, it can struggle to heat effectively. The solution is a dual fuel system upgrade.
What Is a Dual Fuel System?
A dual fuel system pairs an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles everyday heating and cooling, and the furnace kicks in as backup when temperatures drop too low for the heat pump to operate efficiently.
Why Upgrade?
- Efficiency: Combines the strengths of electric and gas heating, avoiding the shortfalls of either alone.
- Comfort: The outdoor compressor keeps noise levels low, and the system runs on clean electricity most of the time.
- Versatility: The gas furnace backup ensures reliable heating on the coldest nights, even in a mild climate like ours.
- Cost Effectiveness: Higher upfront cost, but the efficiency gains and reduced strain on the heat pump make it more economical over time than a standalone heat pump.
