Physics:Hybrid heat
From HandWiki
A hybrid heat system reacts to changes in temperature and automatically adjusts to the method available to heat or cool a house. It combines a furnace with a heat pump.[1]
Mechanics
A heat pump can be used to both cool or heat a house. The heat pump transfers heat via the transmission of R-410A refrigerant.[2]
Hybrid heat works with a gas furnace and electric heat pump systems[3] or using a variable-speed fan. Variable-speed fans use direct-current electronically commutated motors (ECM).[4][5]
Energy consumption
A heat pump can reduce electricity use by up to 40 percent by transferring heat instead of making heat with fuel, for example a gas furnace.[6]
