Smart Heating for Ottawa's Climate
A hybrid heat pump system, also called a dual-fuel system, combines an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. The system automatically switches between the two based on outdoor temperature, always using the most efficient and cost-effective option.
For Ottawa homeowners, this means heat pump efficiency for most of the year, with furnace backup ready for the coldest winter days.
How Hybrid Systems Work
The hybrid system uses intelligent controls to determine the most efficient heating source at any given temperature. Above the 'balance point' (typically around -10°C to -15°C), the heat pump handles all heating at 200-300% efficiency. Below the balance point, the system switches to the gas furnace, which operates at 95-98% efficiency in extreme cold.
