Is a Dual Fuel System Right for Your Home?

There are a number of factors that go into adequately performing a dual fuel system installation. First, you want to ensure it’s the right size. And, you want to make sure it’s actually the best system for your specific home and needs. Our Havertown, PA service professionals will help you with both of these. But what about the decision to even put a dual fuel system in? This choice requires understanding how a dual fuel system works—as an air conditioner it is just as powerful as any cooling system of the same size. When it is in cooling most, the heat pump part of the dual fuel system works as a standard AC does, evaporating refrigerant through an indoor coil to draw out heat from the inside air and pumping it outdoors. In heating mode, this process is reversed and the heat pump is able to keep your home warm. The struggle comes when temperatures dip too low. Since the air is so cold during the winter, the heat pump can’t effectively pull in warm air from outdoors. Instead of being without heat, however, you can utilize a dual fuel system to switch a backup furnace on so your household can receive adequate heat.

Should You Replace Your System with a Dual Fuel System?

What if you already have a central air conditioner for cooling, and a furnace for heating? Is there really any reason to go with a dual fuel system replacement option when you’re shopping for a new HVAC unit? Well, yes! Just like heat pumps struggle in the winter, when wintertime temperatures are milder, your furnace can burn too much fuel, making your home feel stuffy and leading to system inefficiency. So while you may think there’s no difference between using a traditional central AC and furnace setup in your home, there actually is a huge difference, and a big benefit to going with a dual fuel system replacement. Dual fuel systems are highly efficient, will save you money month-to-month, and will keep you more comfortable all year long than a conventional HVAC system would.

Comprehensive Dual Fuel System Services

Unlike with a conventional air conditioner, a heat pump system needs maintenance twice a year rather than once a year. This means you need dual fuel system maintenance twice a year—generally once in the spring and once again in the fall, before you need your HVAC system the most. This will help your dual fuel system perform as efficiently and effectively as it’s meant to for as long as it’s meant to.

Dual fuel system maintenance also helps fend off the worst of repair needs. Dual fuel system repairs can be costly if they’re neglected for too long. But so long as your system is maintained by our experienced Havertown, PA service professionals, you won’t have to worry about neglected repair needs. When you do need dual fuel system repairs of any size, our team is the one to call! We’re here for you 24/7. Contact us today!
