We are having those days now where it is freezing in the morning and then warm in the afternoon.
The weather doesn’t know what it wants to do as we enter the start of February.
We will probably still have some really cold days coming up to mark the end of winter, so the freezing nights are not going to be done just yet. With that, we will talk a bit about how to keep warm in the home with a special type of heating unit. A dual fuel HVAC system is a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that uses two types of energy sources to provide heating and cooling to a building. It typically uses an electric heat pump as the primary source of heating and cooling, with a backup fuel source, such as natural gas or propane, to provide additional heat when temperatures fall below a certain point. The advantage of a dual fuel HVAC system is that it can provide the efficiency of an electric heat pump for most of the year, while ensuring reliable heating during extremely cold weather. The system can switch between the two energy sources as needed to optimize performance and reduce energy costs. Installing a dual fuel HVAC system requires careful consideration of a number of factors, including the climate and temperature patterns of the location, the size of the building, and the availability of different energy sources. It is important to work with a qualified HVAC technician to ensure that the system is installed and configured properly. Overall, a dual fuel HVAC system is an efficient and cost-effective solution for heating and cooling a building, providing the benefits of both an electric heat pump and a backup fuel source.
