What Is a Hybrid Heat™ System?
A Hybrid Heat™ system combines the energy efficiency of an electric heat pump with the reliability of a gas furnace. During milder temperatures, your system relies on the heat pump to keep utility costs low. When the weather turns frigid, the furnace takes over to deliver powerful, consistent heating. This dual-fuel approach automatically switches between energy sources to maximize efficiency and savings without you lifting a finger.

Hybrid Heating Performance
Hybrid Heating delivers exceptional performance by combining the best of both electric and gas heating. During moderate temperatures, the system primarily uses the heat pump, which provides steady warmth at a fraction of the cost of running a furnace. This helps you save energy and money when you don’t need maximum heating power.
As the temperature drops outside, the system automatically switches to your second heating source — typically a gas furnace — when it becomes the most economical way to keep your family comfortable. This seamless transition happens without any input from you, ensuring your home remains consistently warm no matter what the Ohio weather brings.
With Hybrid Heating, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for savings. Instead, you get:
-
Optimized efficiency in all seasons
-
Reliable performance even in extreme cold
-
Lower monthly utility bills
-
Consistent, even heating throughout your home
By automatically choosing the best energy source for the conditions, Hybrid Heating systems give Akron homeowners peace of mind, knowing their comfort and savings are always taken care of.

Heating From Hybrid Heat
Our ultimate Hybrid Heat system includes an Infinity™ 96 gas furnace with our Infinity™ 19 heat pump to provide soothing, superior comfort during both heat pump and furnace operation. This powerful combination can deliver heated air temperatures that are warmer than most traditional heat pumps so air from your vents feels warmer to the touch.
Cooling From Hybrid Heating
One of the greatest advantages of a Hybrid Heating system is that it’s not just for winter. In addition to reliable heating, your system also provides cool, refreshing indoor comfort during Ohio’s hot and humid summers. This means you get a complete, year-round solution for maintaining the perfect temperature in your home.
Modern Hybrid Heat™ systems use high-efficiency heat pumps that operate as air conditioners when the weather warms up. With the recent increase in SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) standards, today’s heat pumps deliver superior cooling performance while using less energy than older systems. That translates to:
-
Lower summer energy bills compared to traditional AC systems
-
Consistent cooling throughout your home, even on the hottest days
-
Improved indoor air quality and humidity control
-
One system for all seasons, reducing the need for multiple units and extra maintenance
By investing in a Hybrid Heating system, Akron homeowners can enjoy maximum comfort and cost savings year-round—staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer with a single, efficient system.

Automatic Control Function
No matter which control best fits your needs, you can count on automatic control of your Hybrid Heat system. We will help you select a “balance point” that tells your control when it’s best to select heat pump and when it’s time to switch to furnace operation. As utility rates in your area change, this balance point can be easily adjusted. To get the best efficiency from your hybrid heating, we recommend taking advantage of the seven-day programmability to select a comfort schedule custom-fit to your lifestyle.
