Combine two heating sources to best fit your budget and tailor your energy investment to meet your heating needs. Runestone Electric Association’s dual fuel program offers the option to incorporate a low-cost electric heat source with an alternate heating system.
In a dual-fuel heating system, an electric heat source, such as a plenum heater, is used in conjunction with fuel oil, propane, natural gas, wood or electric storage heat as the back-up heating system.
Dual fuel is a “controlled” electric heating program, which helps save money and conserve energy. When demand for electricity is high, the electric heat source is shut off, or controlled (up to a maximum of 400 hours per heating season) with a maximum continuous control time of 12 hours. During control periods, your home’s back-up system provides the heat you need.
Program Requirements:
Any electric heating system, combined with an established alternate heat source, qualifies for thedual fuel rate.
