Heat pumps are the outdoor units that are usually coupled with an electric furnace inside. They serve as your air conditioner in the summer and as your heater in the winter. In the winter they will run by themselves until it gets really cold and then your electric elements inside will also kick in. Heat pumps are considered to be very efficient in mild to chilly weather.

Hybrid heating systems combine two different heating sources to bring you the warmth and comfort you expect using the most economical means. This means combining a gas furnace with an electric heat pump and using a special thermostat to automatically switch between the two to select the correct heating source. Hybrid heating systems allow the flexibility to react to changing energy costs and are an excellent investment for long term peace of mind and comfort.
