Dual Fuel Heat Pumps (Hybrid Heating Systems)
A dual fuel heat pump, also called a hybrid heating system, combines the energy efficiency of an electric heat pump with the strength of a gas furnace.
This advanced setup automatically switches between electricity and gas, depending on outdoor temperatures, so you always get the most efficient performance without sacrificing comfort.
Why homeowners choose dual fuel heat pumps:
-
Lower heating costs compared to gas-only furnaces
-
Reliable warmth during extremely cold Canadian winters
-
Automatic switching between heat pump and furnace
-
Reduced carbon footprint with optimized energy use
-
Flexibility and year-round comfort
If your current system struggles in cold weather, upgrading to a dual fuel heat pump with ServiceXCEL can give you the best of both worlds: efficiency and reliability.
