Space heating is the largest use of energy in homes. A properly installed dual fuel heating system is more efficient than other alternatives and can provide you with both heating and cooling for today’s cold winters and hot summers.
A dual fuel ducted heat pump combines a heat pump and a gas or propane furnace for back up heating. It distributes heat and cooling through ductwork connected to vents in each room and switched to the backup furnace at a pre-set temperature. Based on your household income, you could receive up to $15,000 for a dual fuel ducted heat pump.
Up to $15,000
