Dual Fuel Systems in Tampa, FL
Heat pumps are popular choices for modern homes because they work to both heat and cool. Because they draw heat from outdoors when in heating mode, they may run into trouble during colder weather. The way around this is to install a dual fuel heating system—essentially a heat pump with a back-up furnace that will leap in when needed. Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning offers full installation for dual fuel heat pumps, as well as dual fuel system repairs, dual fuel system replacement, and regular maintenance.

What Is a Dual Fuel System?
Think of a standard heat pump: it works like an AC, but it can switch the direction it operates so that it can draw heat from outside and bring it indoors. If a dual fuel heat pump can’t draw enough heat from the outside to maintain its energy-efficient performance, a back-up furnace will activate to make up the difference until the heat pump can return to its regular efficiency.
Is Dual Fuel Right for Your Home?
For most homes in Tampa, FL, a standard heat pump will have no trouble handling the winter weather without requiring a back-up source of thermal energy. There are exceptions, however, and we recommend you consult with our technicians when looking into heat pumps to find out if going dual fuel is a good option.
We Offer Dual Fuel Repairs
Because dual fuel systems burn heating oil, they must have professionals handle any repairs they may need. It’s not safe to try DIY work. You can reach our dual fuel repair professionals 24 hours a day when you need assistance.
When to Replace Your Dual Fuel System
Both the heat pump and back-up heating components of a dual fuel system will last for around 10–15 years. We recommend scheduling a dual fuel system replacement once your heat pump is in that age range and shows signs it’s losing efficiency (raising your bills) or it starts to struggle to meet your demands. Contact Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning for a consultation and we’ll help you decide if you need a new dual fuel heating system.
