Read on to learn how a dual fuel HVAC system works:
A dual fuel HVAC system is composed of two separate pieces of equipment: the heat pump and the combustion furnace. In winter, the heat pump extracts warmth from the air outside, pumping it into your home to keep you warm. In summer, this process is reversed to cool down your indoor spaces.
Heat pumps boast better energy efficiency and lower running costs compared to most other systems on the market. However, these systems don’t have the power to heat your home when temperatures outside dip below freezing. At this point, your thermostat will send a signal to your dual fuel HVAC system to switch over to the furnace component.
When the furnace is activated, it burns fuel – such as propane – to warm a heat exchanger, which in turn heats the air flowing through the system. The air is then pumped back into your home, forcing the denser cold air back into the furnace. Through this process, your home is kept comfortable and cozy even when the world outside has frozen over.
