Investing in energy-efficient home comfort technologies today can provide significant long-term savings and contribute to a more sustainable future. From smart thermostats to air purifiers, cutting-edge solutions offer various benefits that can enhance your indoor climate.
Hybrid systems automatically switch between heat pumps and gas furnaces based on weather conditions. They use less energy than traditional Denver Heating systems and deliver greater reliability during cold weather.
Energy-Efficient
A hybrid system is the ideal choice if you want to lower your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. These systems combine the best aspects of two heaters for optimal performance and energy efficiency.
A hybrid system pairs a heat pump with an auxiliary furnace. The heat pump functions well in the 40 to 60-degree Fahrenheit range, while the auxiliary furnace takes over when temperatures drop below that range.
Hybrid systems offer unparalleled energy efficiency by automatically selecting the best unit to perform each task. This results in significant savings on your utility bills each month. Many homeowners see a return on their initial investment in three to five years.
Versatility
Also known as dual fuel systems, hybrid heating units are growing in popularity due to their ability to save homeowners money on energy bills. They incorporate an air-source heat pump and auxiliary combustion furnace and use intelligent control to switch back and forth between the two, depending on the temperature.
In mild weather, the heat pump operates like an air conditioner to move warm air from outside into your home. When the temperatures fall below freezing, the auxiliary furnace provides an extra boost of heat using natural gas, fuel oil, or propane.
These fuel sources are incredibly environmentally friendly as they do not release flue gases into the atmosphere. In addition, these systems can achieve SEER ratings and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) as high or higher than standard air conditioners and furnaces.
Convenience
Known as hybrid AC or dual fuel systems, they are primarily electricity-powered but use gas in the winter to keep energy costs low. This keeps your home comfortable and reduces greenhouse emissions.
Smart controls automatically switch between an electric heat pump and gas furnace based on weather conditions and energy prices. The heat pump works well in milder temperatures, but the gas furnace kicks in when it gets too cold. This ensures that you always use the most efficient system to heat your home while lowering long-term energy costs. This also saves time and energy by only heating your home when necessary, ensuring that you quickly get to the ideal temperature. This makes them a great choice for any climate. A hybrid heating system can save you 30-50% on energy bills and may qualify for a state/federal tax credit or utility company rebate.
Flexibility
The auxiliary furnace in hybrid systems reacts to outdoor temperatures, choosing the most energy-efficient heating method. This means that during mild weather, your home is heated with an electric heat pump while consuming the least energy. The gas combustion furnace kicks in on colder days, ensuring your family stays comfortable.
You can control when the system switches between electricity and gas power depending on your energy costs. This gives you more control over your energy bills.
Reimer’s ductless hybrid heating and cooling systems use an air-source heat pump that operates on electricity and a natural or propane gas furnace. Using intelligent technology, the system switches back and forth between the two to ensure you’re always getting the best possible performance for your money.
Affordable
Like hybrid cars, hybrid HVAC systems cost more upfront than traditional AC units. But the long-term savings from reduced energy costs make them worth the investment. Most hybrid heating systems pay for themselves within three to five years.
Unlike other HVAC systems, a hybrid system switches between the heat pump and furnace to always warm your home. This helps you save energy and money because each component works only when most effective at a particular temperature range. Moreover, switching between these two functions minimizes temperature fluctuations and gives your house the desired heat faster. Moreover, a hybrid system allows you to avoid expensive repairs in the future by reducing wear and tear. This reduces maintenance expenses and extends your unit’s life expectancy.
