 Dual
Fuel
Combine two heat sources to best
fit your home and tailor your energy investment to meet your
heating needs. Stearns 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 boiler is used in conjunction
with fuel oil, propane, natural gas, wood or electric storage
heat as the back-up heating system, to receive our Energy Wise
rate.
 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 a day. During control
periods, your home’s back-up system provides the heat you
need.
