Dual Fuel Systems in Cinnaminson, NJ

Heat pumps are fantastic for making it through a hot summer—they’re as powerful as any AC of the same size—and provide energy savings during mild cold weather. In air conditioning mode, a heat pump acts like a standard AC: it evaporates refrigerant through an indoor coil to draw out heat from the inside air, and then pumps it outdoors. In heating mode, this process flips, so refrigerant evaporates outdoors to draw heat from the air outside and then pumps the heat indoors.

No matter how cold the outside is, there’s some thermal energy available to the heat pump. However, the colder it gets, the harder the heat pump must work to absorb the outdoor heat. This is where a dual fuel heat pump is helpful.

Hybrid Heat Is the Best of Heat Pumps and Furnaces Together

You could simply use a furnace for home heating and instead of a heat pump use an air conditioner for the summer weather. Furnaces have little difficulty overcoming extreme cold. But they have their drawback as well. When the outdoor temperatures are only moderately chilly, furnaces burn too much fuel. They can also make a home feel too stuffy.

A hybrid heat dual fuel system offers a solution by giving a home flexible heating options. The heat pump remains working the majority of the time, providing a comfortable level of warmth that’s "just right" for most winter days. When necessary, the dual fuel heat pump changes over to the furnace to overcome heavy cold temperatures. This happens automatically, so a house will always have the optimal heating type for ideal comfort and energy conservation.
