I still don't know the actual meaning or nuance of "as well as."
For example, when I say "During the summer, I worked on the project A as well as the project B", basically I feel like it means I worked on the project A more than 80% of the time, but at the same time I worked on the project B but only a short time.
Is it right?
When I say "this product is really good at saving energy as well as making less noise", does it mean I'm pretty sure that it will save energy, but I'm not that sure about noise?
Or, is the importance almost equal between the project A and B or saving energy and making less noise?

Ex: I like dogs and cats. I like dogs as well as cats.
I hope this clears things up.
I can say I like dogs as well as cats, and I like cats as well as dogs. No difference between the two sentences.

I think I told you before that the first thing you say sounds like it's more important, but... I might have been wrong - maybe it's used when the two things are equal after all.
