Hybrid Heating Systems: Gas Furnaces & Electric Heat Pumps Working Together
Heat pumps are often regarded as more energy efficient than traditional gas furnaces, and generally speaking, they are. In milder weather, heat pumps can very efficiently transfer heat into the home rather than generating it by burning gas. However, when it get really cold outside, it becomes harder and harder for a heat pump to pull in enough heat to sufficiently warm a full house.
That's when a dual fuel heating system comes in handy. Most of the time, the dual fuel system uses the more efficient heat pump, but when temperatures really drop, the gas furnace takes over.
We enjoy fairly mild weather year-round here in Abbotsford, but things can get pretty chilly in the winter. With a dual fuel system working for your home, however, you'll always be ready for anything!
Rebates Available
Dual fuel systems are one of the best leading edge ways to heat and cool you home, however the upfront costs can deter homeowners from this option. Currently, Fortis BC is offering a $10,000 rebate for switching to dual fuel.

Quality HVAC Solutions
Hydronic Heating
We strive to afford our Abbotsford clients a range of great options for heating their homes. In addition to heat pumps, furnaces, and dual fuel systems, we also install hydronic heating systems, which work by circulating heated water through radiators or underfloor heating networks rather than using forced air. Hydronic systems are efficient, durable, and don't dry out the air as much as forced air systems do during the winter. Call us if you'd like to learn more about a potential hydronic heating system for your home!

The Pros and Cons of Dual Fuel Heating
Both traditional furnaces and heat pumps are excellent for heating homes, but there are situations where one system performs better than the other, and those conditions can change back and forth throughout the year. The good news […]
Frequently Asked Dual Fuel Questions
Most modern dual fuel setups automatically switch between the two using a thermostat-controlled system. The thermostat continually measures external temperatures and switches over to the gas furnace once temps lower past a certain point.
Yes! When temperatures are hot outside, your dual fuel system's heat pump can essentially reverse its cold weather function and pull heat out of the air, working as an energy-efficient mode of air conditioning. It's just another example of how incredibly versatile dual fuel systems are!
