About Dual Fuel Hybrid Systems
Efficient heat pump comfort with gas furnace backup for the coldest days
A heat pump is very efficient in mild weather but loses capacity as temperatures fall. A gas furnace delivers strong heat in deep cold. A dual fuel system uses both, switching at the best point so you get efficiency most of the year and power when it matters.
We design the system, set the switchover point for your energy costs and install matched equipment so the two work together smoothly.
- Efficient heat most of the year
- Strong gas heat on the coldest days
- Automatic switchover
- Cooling from the same heat pump
Who It Is For
A Great Fit If You…
Homes with gas service and a desire for efficiency
Homeowners replacing both a furnace and air conditioner
People who want backup heat built in
How It Works
What Goes Into Dual Fuel Hybrid Systems
Four parts of the job, each explained so you know what to expect.
Two heat sources, one system
How It Works
The thermostat uses the heat pump when it is efficient and calls on the furnace when the weather turns very cold.

What is a dual fuel system?
It is a heat pump combined with a gas furnace, using each when it is most efficient.
Is dual fuel worth it?
It can be, especially if you have natural gas and want efficient heat most of the year. We estimate the benefit for your home.
Can I add a heat pump to my existing furnace?
Sometimes. The coil, controls and ductwork must be compatible, and we check all of that.
