Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is a dual fuel system?
A dual fuel system combines a heat pump with a gas or propane furnace. The heat pump handles heating efficiently in mild weather, and the furnace takes over during extreme cold. It's the most efficient and comfortable option for many Esquimalt homes.
Q Is dual fuel worth it in Esquimalt?
Esquimalt's mild climate is ideal for dual fuel. The heat pump handles 80-90% of your heating needs at much lower cost than gas alone, while the furnace provides peace of mind for the coldest days.
Q Can I add a heat pump to my existing furnace?
Yes — if you have a functioning furnace with good ductwork, we can add a heat pump to create a dual fuel system. It's one of the most cost-effective upgrades for Esquimalt homeowners.
