Hybrid Systems Environmentally Friendly Heating & Cooling Options

Hybrid Systems

A hybrid heating and cooling system combines a gas furnace with an electric air source heat pump to utilize the most cost-effective fuel source and maintain greater efficiency.

What Is Hybrid Heating?

A hybrid heating system combines the strengths of a gas furnace with an electric heat pump to deliver the ultimate comfort and efficiency you need in both warm and cold seasons to give you more control over your utility bills. As outdoor temperatures change, the system automatically switches between heat pump and furnace to utilize the most cost-effective fuel source and maintain greater efficiency. And the system is so efficient its heating costs are usually less than with any gas furnace alone.

What Is Hybrid Cooling?

As compared to traditional air conditioning, a hybrid system uses a heat pump to cool your home. A hybrid system is both a heating and a cooling system and it can be integrated into virtually any home which has a forced-air system. During the heating season, the heat pump draws warmth from the outside air and delivers is into your home. It is effective down to 30 degrees. In the cooling season, the process is reversed: the heat pump absorbs indoor heat and releases the heat outside.

Why Hybrid?

The cost savings of a hybrid system can vary greatly, depending on the climate and type of heating system you already have in place. In addition, savings are affected by fluctuations in electricity and natural gas prices. Some years, you may see substantial savings, while other years you may come out even. Regardless of the savings, hybrid systems use less electricity and energy that other systems, so they are a green alternative to natural gas or electric heating systems.

    "It was a great experience.  Couldn't recommend it more highly."

    I originally had an appointment to get it fixed on 6/22, but Greg came on the 17th, 5 days early! He was extremely professional and was in and out in under a half an hour.

    "We recommend them wholeheartedly!"

    Ryan, the most delightful service person imaginable, came to our house during the morning time window and spent the entire day making sure that our 1938 home was appropriately cleaned. He took some before- and after- photographs of the inside of the ducts,

    "I recommend them to anyone looking for a new furnace or maintenance work."

    I've used Standard Heating & Air Conditioning for almost 30 years. I've had them install new furnaces at two different homes during that time and also complete annual inspections of my furnace and A/C. They have been price competitive, courteous, profe

    "I have enjoyed working with Standard Heating"

    Cody, one of their technicians, was helpful, knowledgeable, and explained clearly our options in what/how to keep our furnace running well.

    "All very professional, and we look forward to installation in a couple of weeks"

    Tech arranged a meeting with sales rep later the same day. Price for replacement pretty much fixed, as this condo requires a particular kind of unit.

    "Very informative and pleasant to work with"

    He was very informative and pleasant to work with. He was quite punctual and let us know certain ways to work with our system even better.

    - Nickelle L., Facebook User
    "Arrived on time, was friendly, explained the process, and answered all questions"

    He even pointed out some things he noticed not technically related to the ducts, such as some asbestos on an old wood-burning stove that I had thought was just old tape and recent mouse activity in the basement.
