-
Standard heat pumps begin to lose efficiency as temperatures drop toward freezing. However, modern cold-climate models are designed to operate efficiently down to about 5°F, and can still produce heat at temperatures as low as -15°F. For a dual-fuel system, we set the switchover point to the furnace at the temperature where it becomes more economical than running the heat pump.
-
A dual-fuel system is the combination of an electric heat pump and a gas furnace. A smart thermostat controls both, automatically choosing the most efficient heating source based on the outdoor temperature. This gives you exceptional efficiency for most of the year with the powerful performance of a furnace as a reliable backup for the coldest days.
-
Modern heat pumps are designed for quiet operation. The outdoor units are typically no louder than a standard air conditioner condenser, and often quieter. The indoor air handler operates with a quiet fan to circulate air through your home.
