A dual fuel heating system is an electric heat pump with a gas or oil furnace to back it up. Sometimes it is called an Add-on Heat Pump (AOHP). A heat pump moves heat into or out of your home, depending on the season. Basically it acts like an air conditioner in the summer and an extremely efficient heater in the winter!
Today’s heat pumps work efficiently at all outdoor temperatures, but they are extremely energy efficient when they operate in the temperatures from 20 to 60 degrees. In this temperature range a new heat pump can generate heat at a very low cost.
When used with a backup gas or oil furnace, the dual fuel heat pump is able to provide 60% to 70% of your total winter heat. The furnace is still used in the colder winter temperatures and will supply all the remaining heat.
