Dual-Fuel HVAC Installation on Cape Cod
Heat pump and furnace combinations that balance efficiency with reliable cold-weather backup heat.
Before you decide
What is a dual-fuel heating system?
A dual-fuel system combines an electric heat pump with fuel-fired backup heat, commonly a gas furnace. Controls select the appropriate heat source based on the equipment design and settings. Durfee Plumbing & Heating plans dual-fuel installations for Cape Cod properties after reviewing heating loads, existing equipment, ducts, fuel supply and electrical capacity.

Can I keep my existing furnace as backup?
Possibly. The furnace condition, controls, airflow and compatibility with the proposed equipment must be checked. Reusing an existing furnace should be confirmed in the system design and written installation scope.
Will dual fuel always cost less to operate?
No. Operating cost depends on electricity and fuel prices, equipment efficiency, outdoor temperature, house heat loss and control settings. Compare options for your property rather than assuming one heat source is always cheaper.
What to have ready when you contact us
- Existing furnace or boiler model and fuel type.
