Installing & Servicing Dual-Fuel Heat Pumps in San Bernardino County

A hybrid heating system, also known as a dual-fuel system or hybrid heat pump system, combines the efficiency of an electric heat pump with the power of a gas furnace. This setup automatically selects the most cost-effective and comfortable way to heat your home based on outdoor temperatures. In mild weather, the electric heat pump delivers efficient, low-cost heat. When temperatures drop and you need stronger output, the gas furnace takes over. Together, they create one of the smartest and most energy-efficient heating solutions available today. 

How Hybrid Heating Works

A hybrid system uses two heat sources:

  • An electric heat pump to provide heating and cooling. This is ideal for moderate climates and daily comfort.
  • A gas furnace that kicks in when temperatures get too low for the heat pump to operate efficiently.

A smart thermostat or control board automatically switches between the two. You don’t have to adjust anything; your system chooses the best option based on real-time conditions to maintain comfort at the lowest possible cost.

To learn how you can benefit from this advanced technology, contact Sheldon's Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing today!

The Benefits of Hybrid Heating

A dual-fuel system is popular for local homeowners who want enhanced comfort, savings, and reliability. 

Benefits include:

  • Reduced energy bills. The system uses electricity during mild temperatures and gas only when needed to lower monthly operating costs.
  • Reliable cold-weather performance. If the temperature drops below the heat pump’s sweet spot, the gas furnace engages to provide powerful, consistent heat.
  • Year-round comfort. The heat pump handles your cooling needs in summer and provides gentle heating in winter, while the furnace supports a comfortable temperature on peak cold days.
  • Eco-friendly operation. Because the heat pump carries most of the load, homeowners reduce their natural gas use and overall carbon footprint.
  • Quiet and efficient heating. Heat pumps operate quietly and efficiently in Southern California’s typically mild to moderate winter climate, making hybrid systems a perfect fit.

Hybrid systems tend to have a larger footprint than traditional furnaces, however. They may also have a higher upfront cost. Our team will help you weigh your options and find the right comfort solution to fit your unique needs and budget. Before making our recommendations, we’ll look at the size of your property and your usage patterns to help you choose a system that will perform reliably and save you money in the long term. 

Is a Hybrid System Right for You?

If you want to save money, boost efficiency, and maintain reliable comfort through changing seasons, a hybrid heating system is a smart upgrade. It’s especially ideal for San Bernardino County, where winter temperatures vary, giving you the flexibility to efficiently heat your property on both mild days and colder nights.
