A dual fuel heating system combines two heating sources to best fit your Brainerd home and tailor your energy needs.

In a dual fuel heating system, an electric heat source, such as a boiler, plenum heater heat pump (air source or geothermal) is used in conjunction with fuel oil, propane, natural gas or wood heat as the back-up heating system.

Dual Fuel is a controlled electric heating program, which helps save money and conserve energy. When demand for electricity is high the electric heat source is shut off, or controlled (for a certain number of hours per heating season) with a maximum continuous control time of hours during a day. During control periods, your home's back-up system provides the heat you need.
