How Do Dual-Fuel HVAC Systems Work?
A dual-fuel HVAC system is an electric heat pump paired with a gas-powered furnace.
Depending on the season and temperature, the system will alternate between the two units as needed to maximize efficiency and keep your home comfortable all year long.
Typically, your heat pump will keep your home cool in the summer by transferring hot air out of your home the same way a central air conditioner does.
When temperatures are mild in the fall and spring months, the heat pump will provide cost-effective heat by transferring heat into your home from the outside air.
When temperatures dip below freezing during winter, your furnace will kick on for a fast, strong heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pros and cons of dual-fuel HVAC systems?
Dual-fuel HVAC systems are incredibly efficient, making them great for the environment, and they have low monthly energy costs.
They have higher upfront costs and take up more space than heat pumps alone, but are comparable to air conditioners and furnace combinations on both accounts.
Is a dual-fuel heat pump worth it?
Yes, dual-fuel systems work best in areas like Charlottesville that experience all four seasons.
That way, your furnace can take over when temperatures are too low for your heat pump to heat efficiently.
How long do dual-fuel HVAC systems last?
Generally, with maintenance, you can expect a gas furnace to last 15 to 20 years and a heat pump to last 10 to 15 years.
However, because the systems alternate, your heat pump may last longer than if you used it for all heating and cooling.
