Dual Fuel Systems in Jacksonville, FL
Heat pumps are a popular choice for modern homes because they provide both heating and cooling. However, since they extract heat from the outside air when heating, they can struggle in extremely cold weather. A solution to this issue is installing a dual fuel heating system—essentially a heat pump combined with a backup furnace that activates when necessary. Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning provides comprehensive services for dual fuel heat pumps, including installation, repairs, replacements, and routine maintenance.

What Is a Dual Fuel System?
Imagine a standard heat pump: it functions like an air conditioner but can reverse its operation to extract heat from the outside and bring it indoors. In a dual fuel system, if the heat pump cannot extract enough heat to maintain its energy efficiency, a backup furnace kicks in to provide the additional heat until the heat pump can return to its normal efficiency.
Is Dual Fuel Right for Your Home?
In most Jacksonville, FL homes, a standard heat pump can handle winter weather without needing a backup heat source. However, there are exceptions, and we recommend consulting with our technicians to determine if a dual fuel system would be a better fit for your home.
We Offer Dual Fuel Repairs
Since dual fuel systems use heating oil, any necessary repairs should be handled by professionals. Attempting DIY repairs is not safe. Our dual fuel repair experts are available 24/7 to assist you when needed.
When to Replace Your Dual Fuel System
Both the heat pump and the backup heating components of a dual fuel system typically last around 10–15 years. We suggest scheduling a replacement when your system reaches this age and begins to show signs of declining efficiency (increasing your bills) or has trouble meeting your heating needs. Contact Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning for a consultation to determine if it’s time for a new dual fuel heating system.
