These dual energy systems let oil and electricity work in harmony to heat your home more efficiently and more economically. Operation is simple. The electric system works until the coldest winter days, then your oil , furnace automatically takes over. In most cases, add-on electric heat will reduce oil consumption by up ■ to 75%.
