The heat pump handles mild weather for efficient heating and cooling, while the furnace covers cold snaps. We design, supply, install, and commission complete systems for homes and small commercial spaces across Delta, BC and Metro Vancouver.
We program automatic changeover in controls using outside temperature. The system runs the heat pump until conditions drop below the set point, then the gas furnace takes over. For dual fuel heating systems, this keeps comfort steady and costs predictable without complex math. We review the setting with you during handover.
We support Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell, and Goodman smart controls. Our team wires, connects Wi-Fi, sets schedules, and configures equipment modes so dual fuel heating systems switch cleanly. We provide a basic tutorial at completion. Third-party smart home integrations are outside scope, but your thermostat will be correctly set up for heating, cooling, and changeover.
Yes. For replacements and new builds, we complete TECA F-280 heat loss and gain calculations before recommending equipment. This right-sizing helps dual fuel heating systems deliver comfort and efficiency without short cycling. Where required by the city, we provide a calculation summary with the permit package, alongside model and serial documentation.

Real results from Dual Fuel Heating Systems clients
Our Vancouver renovation needed a heating and cooling solution that would pass inspection and keep noise down. Apple Tree’s quote covered permit fees, removal and recycling of old equipment, and refrigerant recovery. The dual fuel heating systems approach made sense for our exposure. They commissioned the system, verified airflow and static, and emailed all documentation. The Nest is set up properly, and the house feels even on every floor.
Our 1990s furnace in North Delta was either blasting or off, and we wanted a heat pump for cooling but worried about winter performance. Apple Tree Gas & Heating Ltd. proposed a dual fuel heat pump with our new Goodman furnace. They did TECA F-280 sizing, set the automatic changeover in the thermostat, and shared static pressure readings after commissioning. No deposit, clear quote, and installation happened within two weeks. The system is smooth, quiet, and finally consistent.
Our Burnaby townhouse strata required permits and documentation. Apple Tree handled gas and mechanical permits, coordinated inspections, and gave us a clean, detailed quote for dual fuel heating systems. We kept our Ecobee, they wired and configured it, and showed us how the changeover works. Closeout included start-up checklists and model and serial lists. The result is reliable heating, quiet cooling, and clear paperwork for the strata file.
We operate a small professional office in Surrey and looked at electrification but could not upgrade the electrical service this year. Apple Tree recommended dual fuel heating systems with a Daikin heat pump and a high-efficiency furnace. They right-sized equipment using TECA F-280, installed new ducts to hit the 0.4 to 0.8 inch w.c. target, and provided readings. Staff noticed steadier temperatures and better air quality immediately.
