How a Dual-Fuel System Saves You Money
A dual-fuel system is the ultimate energy management tool for British Columbia's variable climate. Here is how it works to lower your monthly bills:
- Mild Weather Efficiency: During the spring, summer, and milder winter days, the electric heat pump handles the heating and cooling. Heat pumps are incredibly efficient in these conditions, saving you a massive amount of energy compared to burning gas.
- Extreme Cold Reliability: When the temperature drops below freezing and the heat pump becomes less efficient, the system automatically switches to the high efficiency natural gas furnace. This ensures your home stays warm quickly without drawing excessive electricity.
- Smart Fuel Switching: The system constantly monitors outdoor temperatures and automatically chooses the most cost effective fuel source at any given moment.
