Dual Fuel system in Massachusetts - oil and heat pump?
Just picked up an 8000sqft building in Western mass (7 apartment, 1 commercial space) that is heated by oil and paid for by the landlord. My partner and I are looking at creating a dual fuel system, where heat pumps make hot water on the milder winter days but the oil kicks in during the bitter times. Am also having a solar contractor looking at putting up panels, with the hope that once the solar loan is paid off, we'd be getting a large amount of our heating for free (solar runs heat pumps which heats the building.)
Curious if others have experience with this in Mass where the solar incentives are solid and if so, any advice?
