How Does a Hybrid System Work?
The secret to a hybrid HVAC system? It’s made of the best of both worlds. Hybrid models combine a gas furnace and electric heat pump, alternating between the two energy sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use multiple heating systems together?
If it makes sense for your home, yes! Many homes have both a heat pump and furnace to maintain high efficiency no matter the weather, with reliable on-demand heat when you need to get the temperature up quickly.Heat pumps can pull double duty for cooling, so it’s not much different from the way a traditional air conditioner connects to your furnace’s air handler.
How long do heating systems last?
Different heating systems have different standards for service life, though any can fall short or exceed its average based on maintenance, speedy repairs, and luck.
- Furnaces can last 15 or 20 years but will be showing their age as early as 10 in some cases.
- Heat pumps will outlast a furnace if used exclusively for heat but tend to fall short with a 10- to 15-year service life if used year-round for heating and cooling.
- Hybrid systems last the longest because they strain their component systems less, as long as 25 years. It’s best to replace both systems when one or the other fails.
Ductless mini-splits use the same technology as heat pumps and share their service lives; lengthy for heating alone and shorter for year-round use.
Do I need a furnace with a heat pump?
Twin Cities winters are very cold, which can sometimes reduce the efficiency of heat pumps. To solve this issue, consider a hybrid system, which combines a heat pump with a gas furnace. Homeowners with a hybrid comfort system use their heat pump for most heating and cooling needs and then switch to their furnace when temperatures dip well below freezing.
How do I know which type of heating system to pick?
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to heating, so you’ll want to choose based on your budget, preferences, and goals. Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits can be expected to cost significantly more than furnaces at similar sizes on the front end, for example, but generally require less maintenance, last longer, offer better efficiency, and provide a gentler and more comfortable heat. You might also want to consider your current heating system and what you’d need to do to implement a particular form of heat; if you don’t already have ductwork, a furnace is suddenly far less cost-effective upfront.
How do I maintain my heating system?
While a professional tune-up once a year is important, as a homeowner, you can also help your heating system by clearing the area around your furnace, changing or cleaning your filters, inspecting for visible damage, looking and listening for leaks of water, refrigerant, oil, gas, etc., and paying attention to any weird sounds, behaviors, smells, and so on.
