What is a Hybrid / Dual Fuel HVAC System?

A hybrid system, also known as a dual fuel system, is a ducted system that combines an electric heat pump with an LP or natural gas-fired furnace, providing your home with energy-efficient year-round comfort.

When the thermostat calls for heat, the heat pump is the primary heat source, providing heating at 40% of the energy use of fossil fuel. The gas furnace will automatically turn on if needed, typically at extremely low outdoor temperatures. The homeowner can choose this changeover from electric to fossil fuel heat, or balance point, based on the cost of electricity vs. the cost of fossil fuel.

In cooling mode, the heat pump works just like a central air conditioner, efficiently cooling your home during warmer months. This seamless transition between heating and cooling ensures consistent comfort while optimizing energy use.
