What Is a Dual Fuel System?
A conventional heat pump operates like an air conditioner but can reverse its function to extract heat from the outside and bring it indoors. In a dual fuel system, if the heat pump cannot extract enough heat, a backup furnace kicks in to provide additional warmth until the heat pump can operate effectively again.
Is Dual Fuel Right for Your Home?
In many Ft. Myers, FL homes, a standard heat pump can manage winter conditions adequately without needing supplemental heat. However, there are instances where a dual fuel system may be beneficial. We recommend consulting with our technicians to assess whether a dual fuel system would be advantageous for your home.

When to Replace Your Dual Fuel System
The components of a dual fuel system, including both the heat pump and the backup heater, typically last between 10 and 15 years. If your system approaches this age and begins to show reduced efficiency or fails to meet your heating needs, it may be time for a replacement. Contact Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning for a consultation, and we will help you determine if a new dual fuel system is necessary.
