(NAPS) - With energy costs on the rise, homeowners are looking for ways to save money on their heating bills
without sacrificing their family's comfort. Thankfully, there are choices.
Hybrid comfort systems, sometimes referred to as dual-fuel systems, offer homeowners the option of switching
between two heating technologies to provide the most comfortable indoor air and the chance to save money on
cold weather utility bills.
During mild days, an electric heat pump can be used as the
primary heat source, and on the coldest days, when outdoor
temperatures drop to a point where the heat pump is no longer
efficient, a high-efficiency gas furnace, instead of an electric
resistance heater, provides supplemental heat.
This hybrid, or dual-fuel, system helps ensure comfortable
indoor temperatures while balancing the utility load between
electricity and natural gas for the most economical operation.
According to experts at Johnson Controls, this pairing of
systems can provide homeowners with more personalized
comfort and save them up to 40 percent on their energy bills
by taking advantage of the most economical source of heat
based on weather patterns.
Additional savings can be realized when homeowners apply
and qualify for utility incentives and federal tax credits.
Replacing parts and making costly repairs are lessened because
the life of each unit is extended due to selected use.
In addition, the outdoor heat pump can provide high-efficiency air-conditioning during hot weather-another key
benefit of the hybrid system approach.
Some systems, such as the Coleman&@174 Hybrid Comfort System, which consists of an Echelon™ 8T (18
SEER, or Season Energy Efficiency Ratio) Series Heat Pump and matching Echelon Furnace, qualify for a limited
lifetime compressor warranty and a 10-year system parts warranty, offering even more savings for homeowners.
