Hybrid Heating/Cooling Systems
Help lower your monthly heating bill with a Hybrid Heating system.
A Hybrid Heating system is a fuel-saving alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems that combines a furnace with a state of the art heat pump, rather than an air conditioner.
The end of inexpensive natural gas & propane for heating and the concern over energy efficiency has become a reality. A Hybrid Heating system is the next phase in responsible treatment of our environment by reducing energy consumption, which will help to lower your monthly heating bill.
The secret behind a Hybrid Heating system is a state-of-the-art heat pump and user interface. A heat pump works as an air conditioner in hot weather, but can also reverse the process and heat the home when cold weather arrives.
Rather than burning fuel to generate heat, the heat pump moves heat without a flame, making it a more efficient method of heating a home. Additionally, some heat pumps feature non-ozone-depleting refrigerant, making them an environmentally sound option.
Traditionally, heat pumps, which operate using electricity, are most popular in warmer regions where temperatures do not typically dip as low as they would in colder climates during the winter months. In colder regions, homeowners frequently need a furnace because temperatures often drop below freezing in the winter. However, with the elevated price of oil and gas, heating with a gas or oil furnace may be more expensive than using electricity.
The rising price of gas and oil has spurred a great interest in alternative heating solutions. A Hybrid Heating system will allow homeowners to save money for years to come, since they can always choose which source of heat they would like to use, based on the cost of gas and electricity.
