Dual-fuel system recommended for Aurora
A dual-fuel system pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace backup — the heat pump runs efficiently on mild days while the furnace handles deep cold.
With 6,200 heating degree days and winter lows reaching 24°F, standard heat pumps lose efficiency. The dual-fuel approach gives you heat pump savings on 80% of winter days plus reliable gas heat when temperatures drop below 15-20°F.
