Efficiency Rating
Extract heat from outdoor air to heat your home in winter and reverse for cooling in summer. Highly efficient in moderate climates.
Combines heat pump efficiency with gas furnace reliability. Automatically switches between energy sources based on outdoor temperature.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently even in temperatures as low as -15°F. For Rochester's climate, we often recommend dual fuel systems that automatically switch to gas heat when temperatures drop extremely low, ensuring optimal comfort and efficiency year-round.
A dual fuel system combines a heat pump with a gas furnace. The system automatically switches between the two heat sources based on outdoor temperature—when it's moderately cold, the heat pump provides efficient heating; when temperatures drop significantly, it switches to the gas furnace for optimal performance and cost savings.
With proper maintenance, heat pumps typically last 15-20 years. Annual professional maintenance is essential to keep the system running efficiently and to maximize its lifespan.
