A hybrid heat pump system is an air-source heat pump that reacts to changing outdoor temperatures and automatically adjusts to the most efficient method available to heat or cool your home.
A dual heat pump system combines the best features of two types of equipment. During milder winter weather, the heat pump transfers heat from the outside air, rather than creating it. During most of the winter, the heat pump operates efficiently and costs less to heat your house than the oil or gas furnace. During severe winter weather, when the heat pump's capacity drops because of low outdoor temperature, the forced air furnace takes over automatically to provide constant heating comfort.
By combing a furnace with a heat pump, it wastes far less fuel and money than would be used by moderating temperature with just a furnace. Plus it gives the homeowner the option to select your energy source depending on utility prices. A dual fuel system will provide savings over time that will more than make up for the initial investment.
