About Dual Fuel Heating Systems

For most homeowners in the Philadelphia area, auxiliary heat has been the standard when it comes to backing up a heat pump. Electric furnaces kick in when your heat pump falls short. Unfortunately, in many cases, electric home heat can be less efficient than your heat pump. As the temperature drops, your energy bills may climb higher than you’re used to.

Heat pumps do serve you well in terms of your energy costs and their overall efficiency in warming and cooling your home. However, when the temperatures outside drop below freezing, it’s difficult for your heat pump to maintain a comfortable indoor environment for you and your family. That’s why many residents in the northeastern part of the country, including Philadelphia, rely on a secondary source of heat. This method of using two systems, a furnace and heat pump combination, is commonly referred to as a dual fuel heating system.

Benefits of Dual Fuel Heating Systems for Philly Homeowners

More and more homeowners in Philadelphia and its suburbs find themselves investigating the benefits of dual fuel heating systems. The dual fuel heating system combines an electric heat pump and gas furnace in one unit, and the two heat sources work together to keep your family warm and cozy all winter long. When the temperature falls below what the heat pump can handle, the furnace kicks in to take over.

The cohesive dual fuel heating systems maintain the temperature in your home at a comfortable level. There’s no lag time. When your heat pump’s performance begins to wane, your gas system kicks in. Dual fuel heating systems assure efficiency is maintained by preventing fluctuations in indoor temperature.
