What is a dual-energy system?

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

• Electricity: main source of energy;
• Fuel (fuel oil, light hydrocarbon or even wood pellets): additional 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 energy sources;
• A switch that allows you to automatically switch 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 stays above -12 or -15°C, depending on the region. The thermal probe then sends a signal when the temperature falls below the critical threshold. This is how the power supply to the system automatically changes from electricity to fuel thanks to the switch.

What are the advantages of the dual-energy system?

The dual-energy system has a number of interesting advantages.

1- Economical

The cost of electricity increases when the temperature falls below -12 or -15°C. The use of fuel as a backup 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 that cause considerable harm to the environment and living beings.
