Why would I want a hybrid Heating & Cooling System?
Hybrid HEAT PUMP systems
Almost everyone has heard of the hybrid vehicles that use two energy sources, usually gasoline and electricity, to increase fuel efficiency in their cars, but with the cost of natural gas reaching an all-time high; many homeowners are turning to the same technology to heat and cool their homes.
Like hybrid vehicles, hybrid heating systems use a combination of fossil fuels and electricity to increase the efficiency of the system and save fuel. Until recently, few people were interested in paying a little more up front for a hybrid vehicle. After all, gas was cheap and abundant. But record gas prices have consumers snapping up hybrid vehicles off dealer lots as fast as they can be built. The sudden rise in the cost of natural gas has homeowners clamoring for ways to save more on their heating bills.
While the concept of hybrid heating isn’t new, electronic technology, increased efficiency and the cost of fuel is now making hybrid heating systems affordable for the average homeowner.
Hybrid heating systems use electric heat pump technology when the weather is chilly and gas furnace technology when it gets really cold. This makes the home far more comfortable than any single system alone. When it is chilly, people prefer heat pumps over furnaces. The heat pump delivers a consistent “mellow” heat, while a gas furnace delivers intermittent blasts of hot air during mild weather.
Hybrid systems take advantage of both heating technologies and automatically switch to the one most efficient for the temperature. When it is chilly, the system operates off electricity, providing the heat pump’s steady, mellow heat. But when it turns cold, the hybrid system automatically switches to the gas furnace and its warmer, toasty air. The result is the ultimate in comfort. Even better, hybrid systems cost less to operate.
Actual savings can vary based on the efficiencies of hybrid units, the utility rate at any given month, how you use your system, and, of course, the weather. With today’s skyrocketing energy prices, a hybrid system, could save you as much as 40% over last year’s bill and that is nothing to sneeze at.
The advantages are clear. Not only do you get the energy savings and environmental benefits, but those are really only bonuses compared to the comfort. Hybrid systems are way-way more comfortable. Simply spend a cold January with a hybrid system, and you will never return to a conventional heating system.
Costs can vary, but as with the automobile, so can the quality and efficiency of the equipment. On average, hybrid automobiles add about $2000 to $3000 to the sticker price. On the other hand, hybrid heating systems average only about $1000 more than their equivalent conventional counterparts. That seems a small price when weighing the energy savings and comfort factor. If your heating system is over seven years old, it could be wasting as much as 30% of your heating dollar directly up the chimney. That’s a pretty big incentive to upgrade your working system to one that squeezes as much as 96 cents of heat out of every heating dollar.
It seems ironic that at a time when natural gas bills are slated to rise to as much as 70% over last year’s bills, that Congress has finally given a financial incentive to switch from your old inefficient heating systems to the newer high-efficient ones available
In short, a hybrid heating system offers homeowners a new, more efficient way of heating and cooling their homes. When taking into consideration rising energy costs, the increases in efficiency, the comfort factor, the environmental benefits, and the tax incentive savings, it is a wonder that everyone isn’t wanting a hybrid heating system for their family.
Hybrid Solar Systems
You may want to install solar thermal panels for your heating requirements but providing 100% of space heating from solar panels is very difficult unless you get acres of panels coupled with a huge storage tank or have an incredibly well insulated house. The answer to this problem may be to use solar heat as a supplement to the existing heating system on mild days and use the existing heating system for those particularly cold and/or cloudy days. Solar heat hybrids well with radiant under-floor heating or panel heating.
