A dual-fuel heating system, also known as a hybrid heating system, uses two different heating sources to maximize efficiency. It helps keep your home comfortable year-round. The primary component is a heat pump, which extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors during colder months. In the summer, the system reverses. It removes heat from your home and releases it outside, providing both heating and cooling.
When temperatures drop below 32 degrees, the heat pump becomes less efficient. At that point, the system automatically switches to a secondary heating source. This is typically a gas furnace, oil furnace, or propane furnace, ensuring reliable heat during colder weather. The dual fuel system smoothly transitions between the primary and secondary heat sources, delivering optimal comfort and energy efficiency all year long.
