Great Energy Savings from Hybrid or Dual Fuel Systems

Hybrid or Dual Fuel Systems

With the threat of energy prices increasing every year the idea of high efficiency and energy savings becomes more and more real to residents of the hydroelectric charged northwest. One approach that is very popular today is called a “dual fuel” heating system. First let’s define what a dual fuel system is. Simply stated, a dual fuel system is combining the installation of a gas or oil furnace with a heat pump.

Now heres the scoop; by combining the efficiency of a heat pump during it's peak operating period with the high efficiency of a gas furnace, oil furnace or boiler for the times when it is less efficient, a Dual Fuel System provides the maximum efficiency, payback and comfort level of both fuels and systems available. Because our electric rates here in the Northwest are far more stable than in other areas around the country and far more reasonable what we are all more concerned about is the increased we have experienced in gas and oil prices. This makes the heat pump even more attractive than normal.

Who is installing dual fuel heating systems? The first group are customers who already have furnaces and boilers in their homes and whose central air conditioners need replacing. When their air conditioner goes bad, some consumers are upgrading with a heat pump to work in conjunction with their existing furnace or boiler heating system. This gives them the advantage of a new air conditioner for better cooling comfort and a heat pump (they are the same unit), which can be used most efficiently for heating on those days when the temperature is above 32 degrees.

How do I benefit? If you have an oil or gas system, you can benefit by adding an electric system (heat pump). If you presently have an electric system (heat pump) you can still benefit by adding oil or natural gas. Dual Fuel heating enables you to add a second heating system to your current system and gives you an appealing alternative to the roller coaster pricing of fuel oil and most gas heating systems because Dual Fuel rates are most likely to remain stable year round.
