What is a heat pump?

First and foremost, before we get into details of our partnership with Enbridge Gas, let’s quickly break down what a heat pump is. Essentially, heat pumps do not create heat like other heating systems, such as furnaces. Instead, they transfer warm air from one location to another location. A furnace distributes heat throughout your home, whereas a heat pump captures thermal energy from the air outside your home and transmits it into your home through various heating processes that occur in your heating pump compartment before it is transported to your interior compartment. On the other hand, a heat pump and an air conditioning system are essentially similar when in their cooling mode as they absorb heat from the air inside your home before it is released to the outside of your property through your exterior compartment.

Energy Benefits of Hybrid Heating with Heat Pumps

To heat your home as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, hybrid heating employs two processes. When temperatures are mild and electricity costs are relatively low, an electric heat pump will warm your home using the heat transfer process mentioned above. However, when the weather calls for a drop in temperature or electricity prices rise in the area, the heat pump system will shift automatically to use your home’s gas furnace, making sure you are able to effectively heat your home when the days are extremely cold. The same goes for warmer months of the year, ensuring that you are able to cool your home more efficiently and at a lower cost than an older-modelled air conditioning unit.

Additional Benefits to Hybrid Heating with Heat Pump Installations

As you can see, implementing a hybrid heating system with a heat pump into your home can not only reduce your carbon footprint, but it can also save you money in energy costs throughout the year. With that being said, there are other benefits that you can take advantage of by participating in this government heating program. Here is a closer look at some of the benefits of working with the team at Mr. Furnace Heating and Air Conditioning in partnership with Enbridge Heating in more detail below:

Convenience

The smart control system will enable homeowners to switch between gas and electric heating sources depending on which power source is the most cost-effective and efficient at that time of day, which is not only convenient but also easy to use as it is an automated system that does not require you to switch between the two manually. 

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Hybrid systems decrease emissions of greenhouse gases by up to 30%, allowing property owners to help combat global warming.

The Choice is Yours

With two heating systems, property owners can always be energy-cost and durable and choose between electric and natural gas power sources for their homes, depending on their personal heating needs throughout the day and throughout the year.

Peace of Mind

With a hybrid heating system, homeowners are able to have peace of mind knowing that their home is as energy efficient as possible when it comes to monitoring and controlling the indoor temperature of their home. As such, you will never need to worry about whether you could save more money as you create a comfortable living space for yourself and your family.
