What Is a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are compact 2-in-1 heating systems that work efficiently and fairly quietly. Heat pumps both heat and cool by transferring energy. There are both ducted and ductless heat pumps. If your space doesn’t have ductwork, you can have a ductless heat pump installed. In addition to ductless and ducted, there are single-zone and multi-zone heat pumps.
Ductless single-zone heat pumps are especially excellent for heating small spaces like studios and offices. Multi-zone heat pumps make it easy to control the temperature in each area of your house. With a single outdoor unit, a multi-zone heat pump lets you independently control temperatures in up to 8 separate zones.
Regardless if it’s ducted or ductless, or single-zone versus multi-zone, heat pumps take less energy to operate and that saves you money on your energy bills.
What Is a Hybrid Heating System?
A hybrid heating system is a system that allows for maximum energy efficiency as it combines the power of two systems. This configuration consists of a heat pump and a gas-powered furnace. This combination of heating systems allows you to heat your home in the most efficient way possible. The electric air-source heat pump heats your home when temperatures are moderate and electricity rates are low, while the gas furnace kicks in when it’s especially cold outside or when electricity rates are at their peak.
Plus, they’re super easy to operate. Smart controls automatically switch between the natural gas heat source and the electric heat pump based on whichever is the most efficient at the time. This way, you get energy-cost resiliency and the option to heat with natural gas or electric heat. And on top of all that, heat pumps are two-in-one HVAC systems. That means you will also have an air conditioner whether it’s a standalone heat pump or a hybrid system.
Hybrid heating systems are covered by the heat pump rebates.
