Smarter Comfort Spells with Dual Fuel Systems

When Fredericksburg winters dip low and Hill Country summers soar high, you need a comfort system that can adapt—efficiently and affordably. That’s where hybrid fuel systems come in. Also known as dual-fuel systems, these setups combine the power of a gas furnace with the energy efficiency of a heat pump, automatically switching between the two depending on outdoor temperatures and energy demands.

At 72 Degrees, we’ve been helping Texas families find better comfort solutions since 1986. We specialize in designing and installing hybrid heating systems that deliver year-round performance while helping you cut energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint—all with the trusted service our community has relied on for decades.

What Is a Hybrid Fuel System?

A hybrid fuel system combines two heating methods—typically an electric heat pump and a gas furnace—into a single, smart setup. When temperatures are mild, your system runs on the energy-efficient heat pump to keep costs low. When the weather turns colder and more heat is needed fast, your gas furnace kicks in. The switch is automatic and optimized for performance and efficiency.

This dual-approach system gives homeowners the best of both worlds: the sustainability and savings of a heat pump, and the power and reliability of a gas furnace when you need it most.

Why More Homeowners Are Switching to Dual-Fuel

Installing a hybrid fuel system isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a smart investment in long-term comfort and control. Benefits include:

  • Lower monthly energy bills

  • Longer lifespan of both heating components

  • Improved year-round climate control

  • Reduced reliance on fossil fuels

  • Seamless compatibility with smart thermostats

  • Quieter operation and more consistent performance

If your current system struggles to keep up or you’re looking to replace an aging furnace, our team can help you determine whether a hybrid system installation is the right choice for your home and lifestyle.
