The Dual Fuel Program - When two fuels are better than one...
What does Dual Fuel mean?
Dual Fuel means using two fuels to heat the home instead of one. In most cases, this means combining a high efficiency electric heat pump with a fossil fuel furnace (natural gas, propane or oil). A heat pump is a home comfort unit that will heat your home in the winter and cool it efficiently in the summer. During mild winter temperatures, the heat pump operates at an incredible 200 to 300 percent efficiency. During the coldest times, the fossil fuel furnace burns at it's greatest efficiency. By using these two sources of heat you can actually heat your home for less. An outdoor sensing thermostat will activate whichever unit will most efficiently heat the home.
Who can benefit from choosing a Dual Fuel system?
There are several situations that lend themselves to the installation of a Dual Fuel system. You may want to consider Dual Fuel if you are:
- building a new home
- considering adding central air conditioning to an existing home
- planning to replace window air conditioning units or a worn out central air system
- wanting to extend the life of your fossil fuel furnace
- decrease the heating cost of your existing system
This type of system would definitely save you money for heating your home. If you have any questions about the Dual Fuel system please CONTACT US!
