What is Hybrid Heating?
Most homeowners in London have a natural gas furnace and central air conditioning to keep their home comfortable year round.
A hybrid heating system is designed to heat your home as efficiently as possible. Instead of using a traditional air conditioner, a hybrid system uses an electric air-source heat pump. The electric heat pump will heat your home when temperatures are moderate. When it gets cold, the system automatically switches over and lets your natural gas furnace heat your home.
Your home will also be cooled more efficiently in the summer by the heat pump.
When your heat pump is keeping you warm, you are reducing your carbon footprint and lowering your gas bill. During the coldest days, your natural gas furnace is still the most economical way to keep your home warm and cozy.
Why is it called a heat pump?
- During the summer months, your heat pump draws heat from inside your home and moves it outside.
- In the winter months a heat pump draws heat from the outside air and moves it into your home.
