"Providing all possible options
for our customers"
   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

       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.
