Hybrid Heat Dual Fuel
Smart switching between gas and electric for maximum savings.
A Hybrid Heat (dual-fuel) system pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace and an intelligent control that automatically picks whichever fuel source is more efficient at the moment. When it's mild outside, the heat pump handles heating using inexpensive electricity. When temperatures drop and gas becomes more economical, the system seamlessly switches to the furnace. You get the best of both worlds — without lifting a finger.
The benefits
Lower year-round energy costs
By automatically choosing the cheaper fuel source based on outdoor temperature, a hybrid system can significantly cut your total heating costs over a season.
Automatic, seamless switching
The intelligent controller monitors outdoor temperature and switches between heat pump and furnace on its own — no manual intervention, no comfort gap.
Reliable heat in any weather
The gas furnace provides backup for the coldest Indiana days when a heat pump alone would struggle, so you're never left waiting for warmth.
Cooling included
The heat pump handles your summer cooling too, so one outdoor unit covers heating and cooling — with the furnace as a dedicated heating backup.
Is it right for you?
If any of these sound familiar, it may be time for a closer look.
- You're replacing both a furnace and an air conditioner at the same time
- Your winter heating bills feel higher than they should be
- You want the efficiency of a heat pump but aren't ready to give up gas heat entirely
- You like the idea of fuel flexibility — using whichever energy source costs less
- You want a system that adapts automatically as energy prices change
How it works
The heat pump handles mild weather
On most winter days, the heat pump extracts heat from outdoor air and brings it inside — efficiently and quietly, using electricity.
The controller watches the temperature
An intelligent dual-fuel thermostat monitors outdoor temperature and compares the real-time cost of electric heat vs. gas heat.
The furnace takes over when it's cold
When outdoor temperatures drop to the point where gas heat is more efficient, the system automatically switches to the furnace — no comfort gap, no manual changeover.
In summer, the heat pump cools
Flip the thermostat to cooling and the heat pump reverses, pulling heat out of your home just like a central air conditioner.
