Keep your existing furnace as backup and transition over time
A dual fuel system is an easy way to convert to an all-electric home gradually.
Dual fuel means using two fuel types for heating: electricity and natural gas. Your heat pumps will take the place of your A/C units, but will also provide 90%+ of your heating needs. You'll keep your existing gas furnace as backup heat for the coldest hours.
You can then replace your furnaces with electric backup heating down the road. Dual fuel is a useful option for homes that would require electrical panel upgrades, but want to defer that cost until later.

Performance is estimated using 15-30 years of historical weather data. Figures shown represent an average year over that timeframe, based on hourly weather data and manufacturer-supplied performance ratings. Actual performance will inevitably vary in your home going forward, not only because equipment performance may differ but because we can't predict the weather! But we do hope this is a useful guide, and we believe in the numbers we're showing here.
