What Is a Dual Fuel System?
A dual fuel system or hybrid system is a combination heating system and cooling system. It uses an electric heat pump and a gas furnace or boiler to provide heating and cooling for your home. The system automatically switches between the two pieces of equipment based on weather conditions and interior temperatures.
How Does a Dual Fuel System Work?
A dual fuel system heats and cools your home reliably and efficiently by automatically switching between heating and cooling systems to optimize comfort, performance, and energy efficiency. This is how it works:
- Heat Pump – Your heat pump is your primary heating and cooling appliance. It uses electricity to move air from outside your home to inside. In the winter, it replaces the cold air in your home with warmer air from outside. In the summer, it moves cooler air from outside into your home and cools it using a refrigerant.
- Gas Furnace – In extreme temperatures, the system switches to using your gas furnace for heating. This supplemental heat will keep your home safe, warm, and comfortable all winter long.
- Automatic Transfer – The system automatically switches between the two appliances based on the temperature outside and inside your home.

Importance of Regular Dual Fuel System Maintenance
