A hybrid heating and hot water system is a combination of two or more technologies teaming up to generate heat, as a low carbon alternative for home heating. These typically consist of a gas or oil boiler and an air to water heat pump.

The heat pump is expecting to generate heat for 70-80% of the time and, during colder months, the boiler acts as a top-up, giving all year-round comfort.

Do I need a Hybrid system?

Over 80% of UK homes were built before 1960 and are generally not that efficient with relatively poor fabric insulation and glazing – this can make a standalone heat pump potentially unsuitable without additional investment to the property.

The good news is that hybrid heat pumps however can be more flexible to accommodate more property types, making them a viable option for less thermally efficient homes, like period properties – so you can achieve carbon savings immediately, whilst giving yourself more time to improve the fabric of your property.
