Dual-Fuel Systems

"Very knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable staff that wants nothing but what is in the customer's best interest for an unbeatable value. Charlie was fantastic and went above and beyond service to make sure we got what it took to make our system work properly and better than before. Drew and his crew were punctual, got done early and left the house in better shape than when they arrived. I will be recommending GRmetro to anyone in the West Michigan area from here on out."

The Efficiency and Performance of Hybrid Heat

Dual-fuel systems are also called hybrid heating systems, or hybrid heat pumps. That’s because they combine the use of natural gas and electricity, something that may be useful in terms of comfort and your monthly bills.

First, let’s look at why you might want a heat pump - a heating and cooling system in one. Heat pumps use refrigerant to transfer heat, just like a central air conditioner does. The refrigerant moves heat out of the home to keep it cool, as does an air conditioner. But it has some extra valves that allow it to move heat into a home as well.

Moving heat is a more efficient process than generating heat, meaning it requires less energy, which means a lower cost for the electricity used. However, it might lose some power in the winter, when temperatures approach freezing and there is less heat available in the air to absorb. That’s when a hybrid heat dual fuel system switches over to gas furnace power, ensuring you have the comfort you need for the best possible monthly price.
