Name
Dual Fuels in CA? Electric and Gas Can Co-Exist! (moderated by Eric Kirchhoff, SoCalGas)
Description
As California moves to decarbonize, dual-fuel heat pump systems could provide a cost-effective pathway that combines electric heat pumps with existing or supplemental gas heating. This session will examine the current state of dual-fuel technologies, emerging control and optimization strategies, and real-world system configurations, highlighting what is available today, what is coming next, and the data, controls, and contractor capabilities needed to deploy these systems effectively in California.
