Air Source Heat Pump Tips | Dual Fuel Heating

A dual fuel heat pump is a heat pump with a gas furnace for backup heating rather than electric heat strips.

Air source heat pumps have a backup heating source. In most installations, the backup heating source is electric heat strips. Electric heat strips are very cheap to install in most cases. However, while electricity is generally regarded as 100% efficient, producing it is more costly than other heating methods. For a more efficient heat pump, consider a dual fuel heat pump, or a heat pump with a gas furnace for the backup heat source. It will be more costly to install, but your monthly bills will be reduced.

Maytag offers a great warranty for select models. Always make sure you review the terms and conditions of the warranty when you base your purchase decision on the warranty. Most warranties are parts only and do not include labor. High Performance HVAC always recommends the consumer purchase extended parts and a labor warranty is available from the manufacturer.
