Dual Fuel

Whirlpool Brand Dual Fuel

Dual Fuel systems consist of a heat pump and a gas furnace that alternately work to maintain desired indoor temperature and humidity levels year-round. Investing in two options allows the most economical fuel source to heat your home. The result is a hybrid system that ensures maximum comfort with minimum energy costs.

What makes Dual Fuel so efficient?

When moderate heating is required, the system selects the electric heat pump as the most energy-efficient source of heat. On colder days, the system automatically switches to the gas furnace for more economical heating efficiency. During warm weather, the heat pump reverses its cycle and functions as a central air conditioner.

A Whirlpool® Dual Fuel system provides:

Enhanced year-round comfort with steadier airflow, indoor temperatures and humidity levels
A choice of two fuel sources, which utilizes the most economical fuel source (this can translate into lower utility bills when thermostats are set correctly)

Compared to a traditional furnace alone, a Whirlpool® Dual Fuel system may represent a larger initial investment. However, because its year-round heating and cooling efficiencies can translate into reduced energy use and annual savings on fuel costs, the system quickly pays for itself. Installing an EcoCentral™, ENERGY STAR® rated or Resource Saver™ model further enhances the efficiency of your system and increases your monthly energy savings.
