What is a dual energy system?

As its name suggests, a dual-energy system uses 2 energy sources to heat a building throughout the year:

• Electricity: main source of energy;
• Fuel (oil, light hydrocarbon or even wood pellets): backup source during periods of extreme cold.

How does the dual-energy system work?

To understand how a dual-energy system works, it is important to know its main components:

• A thermal probe installed outside the house whose role is to measure the outside temperature;
• The 2 sources of energy;
• A switch that automatically switches from one source to another when the time comes.

The principle is relatively simple. The heating system is powered by electricity as long as the outside temperature remains above -12 or -15°C, depending on the region. The thermal probe then sends a signal when the temperature drops below the critical threshold. This is how the system power automatically switches from electricity to fuel through the switch.

What are the advantages of the dual-energy system?

The dual-energy system has many interesting advantages.

1- Economic

The cost of electricity increases when the temperature drops below -12 or -15°C. The use of a fuel as a back-up source thanks to the dual-energy system thus makes it possible to make significant savings.

2- Ecological

The use of a dual-energy system limits the production of greenhouse gases which considerably harm the environment and living beings.
