Is this technology new? NO! Heat pumps have been used for years, and
obviously so have furnaces. The hybrid system simply combines both
technologies.
What is a heat pump? Well it is very much like an air conditioner. An
air conditioner absorbs the heat in a home a pumps it to the outdoors. A
heat pump looks like an air conditioner but has a valve which can reverse
the air conditioning process. A heat pump can actually absorb the
heat/energy that exists outdoors and pump it to the indoors.
Why don't we use more heat pumps in Utah? A heat pump works very
well in mild climates. However, when the temperature drops below thirty
or forty degrees, the heat pump has a hard time absorbing heat/energy in
the air outside. Much like the Hybrid car, which switches to gasoline after
the electric motor can no longer keep up, a hybrid heating system will use
a heat pump until it can no longer keep up, and then switch to a natural
gas furnace.
Why should I switch to a hybrid heating system? A hybrid heating
system can save most consumers a lot of money. In fact a hybrid system,
depending on the consumer, will usually provide the best return on
investment for the home owner. If you want to know if a hybrid heating
and cooling system is the right choice for you, contact us and set up a free
in-home consultation.
Hybrid heating and cooling is a term which
describes the use of both, a heat pump which uses
electricity, and a gas furnace which uses natural
gas, to heat or cool a home. Just like a hybrid
car, a hybrid heating system uses two fuels to
accomplish a task.
