What is a hybrid heating system? How does this system work and what are it’s disadvantages? Read this article to know these things and more.

 

 Let's learn about Hybrid Heating Systems together

There have been a lot of technological advancements in the field of heating systems. Hybrid heating system is one such latest technnological upgrade that has become an essential part of the ‘smart home dream’. Since hybrid heating system is now pivotal to shaping your dream smart house, understanding it is not only useful but also helps to maintain and improve it’s efficieny. 

 

The Hybrid Heating System: What is it?

 Made up of renewable energy technology and a gas boiler, hybrid  heating systems are a new technology that works with both sources. Also known as a dual fuel heating system, this solution makes it possible to heat your home without harming the environment.

 The hybrid heating system means that it offers two options to heat your home: a gas boiler or an electrical heating pump. The two mechanical systems represent the duality of the technology and deliver an optimal temperature and energy usage amount.

 

How does a hybrid heating system work and what are its functionalities?

First off, hybrid heating systems can be utilized all year long. Their strength relies on their capacity of being able to work alongside the temperature outside your home in order to deliver optimal results.

By analyzing the temperature, the system is able to detect when it is most convenient to activate the gas boiler or the renewable energy system. Thanks to the data collected, the system can function autonomously and can regulate what mechanism to use to heat the house.

The numerous advantages of a hybrid heating system

With this mechanism, the hybrid heating system is not only eco-friendly, but also more importantly, cost-effective. The main strength of the hybrid heating system is in fact right in its name: hybrid. The advantageous option of having not one, but two heating sources makes it so that neither is overused and each one can be tapped into when necessary.

 In addition to the principal function of heating a home, the hybrid heating system also presents other capacities that can include:

• a personalized setting of preferred temperatures that the system will recognize and activate on its own
• dehumidification
• the possibility of having hot air but also cold air when desired
• the benefit of having a technology that can deliver heat even when it is very cold

 

Where do hybrid heating systems work more efficiently?   

• Locations With High CO2 Emissions

As of now, the locations where hybrid heating systems work best  are those that tend to be older. The reason for such is that, thanks to their smart technology, the systems can reduce the CO2 emissions that these properties produce.

• Large Buildings Where Cost & Efficiency is Major Factor

Furthermore, the bigger the property is, the more heating it will require. Therefore, if the hybrid heating system is installed in larger buildings, the cost and energy consumption can be regulated in a smarter and more efficient way, instead of over-using and over-consuming.

Conclusion: Hybrid Heating Systems Guarantee Efficiency and Performance.


A more eco-friendly and future-proof solution, the hybrid heating system represents a flexible solution that not only lasts longer in terms of technology but also means watching out for the environment (and your wallet!)

In conclusion, homeowners find themselves with a hybrid system that can analyze the best usage without needing him/her to do it in first person. Should the climate outside the home be an environment with temperatures that can be considered  “warm”, the hybrid heating system will activate the electric heat pump. Instead, should the temperatures around the home drop to colder degrees, the system will detect the change and work off the gas boiler.


Thanks to the dual-method nature of the system, the technology allows for comfortable temperatures and optimal usage without having to move a finger. If you would like to discover more about hybrid heating systems, feel free to contact us.
