Are you looking for an energy-efficient, cost-effective way to heat and cool your home? If so, you should consider installing a dual-fuel heating system.
This HVAC solution uses an electric heat pump and a gas furnace and will seamlessly adjust to suit the outdoor temperature. Plus, thanks to a handy rebate from FortisBC, it is the perfect time to invest in this heating solution. Keep reading to learn more about dual fuel systems and how DirectBuy Furnace can help enhance your home’s heating efficiency today.
What is a Dual Fuel System?
A dual-fuel system combines an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. These two sources work together and adapt to changing weather, creating a comfortable and efficient system.
This system uses the heat pump during milder temperatures and switches the gas furnace when temperatures are colder. Additionally, you can use your heat pump for cooling during the summer, meaning you don’t need to install an air conditioner.
How Does the FortisBC Dual Fuel Heating System Rebate Work?
The dual fuel heating system rebate is designed to help offset the cost of installing a new electric heat pump and high-efficiency gas furnace.
If you want to replace your aging gas furnace, this program is a good choice. Plus, when you partner with a FortisBC licensed contractor like DirectBuy Furnace, the process is simple. Here’s how the rebate works:
- Contact a certified HVAC contractor, like DirectBuy Furnace, and select an eligible gas furnace and heat pump combo, such as the Trane S9V2 Variable Speed Gas Furnace and the Trane XV18 Heat Pump.
- Next, we’ll visit your home and install your new dual fuel system. The best part? DirectBuy will take care of your rebate application and ensure that our installation meets all the criteria laid out by FortisBC. This means you don’t have to worry about complicated guidelines and rebate applications!
- Finally, you will receive a cheque from FortisBC for the full rebate amount within one month of the installation.
Additionally, if you are looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency, consider pairing your new heat pump installation with other upgrades that qualify for a rebate from FortisBC, such as windows and doors, insulation, and other home renovations.
Benefits of a Dual Fuel System
More Energy Efficient
One of the biggest features of a dual-fuel system is high energy efficiency. Your system will adapt to outdoor conditions and automatically use the best heat source. This adaptability minimizes energy waste and ensures seamless heating performance all year round.
Cost Savings
Due to its energy efficiency, homeowners with a dual fuel system will spend substantially less on their energy bills than those who only rely on a gas furnace. Additionally, thanks to the dual fuel rebate, you can significantly offset high installation costs and maximize your savings in the long run.
