Types of Heat Pump Applications
Hybrids
A Heat Pump replaces any conventional Air Conditioner. A Hybrid HVAC system combines the energy-efficient features of a heat pump with the high-performance capabilities of a furnace. Your heat pump becomes the primary source of heat and your furnace becomes "auxiliary" or back-up heat.
