What is a hybrid heating system? A hybrid heating system is a system with both a heat pump and

00:06.480 --> 00:11.120
a furnace. It automatically switches between the two units depending on outdoor climate,

00:11.760 --> 00:15.520
which saves time and energy in getting your home to the desired temperature.

00:15.520 --> 00:20.080
Hybrid systems are best for places that experience colder temperatures in the winter,

00:20.080 --> 00:25.200
as the heat pump alone may not provide sufficient heat. Plus, hybrid systems tend to be more

00:25.200 --> 00:28.800
eco-friendly as they prioritize electricity over fossil fuels.

00:29.600 --> 00:34.080
The system is efficient at switching between the heat pump and furnace depending on the temperature

00:34.080 --> 00:39.760
need. Even though hybrid systems can have higher upfront costs, you can generally save energy

00:39.760 --> 00:45.120
and might even qualify for a tax credit in your area. To simplify, a hybrid heating system

00:45.120 --> 00:49.120
provides electric heat until the furnace needs to kick in when the weather gets colder.
