And with dual-fuel capability built in, The G71P provides the energy efficiency builders and homeowners desire. With the demand for superior energy efficiency continuing to rise, we realized the need to develop a precise heating system that also offers dual-fuel capability. When combined with an electric heat pump, the G71P can alternate between electric and gas heat for added fuel efficiency, says Ken Ely, Heating Product Manager for Lennox.
