A hybrid system is one that's capable of heating your home using either electricity or fossil fuel. A Trane EarthWise^™ Hybrid system combines an XLi electric heat pump with a variable speed gas or oil furnace for ultimate efficiency.

With the flexibility of two fuels, the system can actually optimize your energy use by switching back and forth to whichever source is most efficient for your comfort.

The electric heat pump can find enough ambient heat in the air to keep your home warm and comfortable well into fall. But when there's not enough ambient heat and a fossil fuel becomes the most efficient option, the system will switch to either natural gas or heating oil for the toasty, cozy heat of a furnace.

When winter ends and warm temperatures return, the heat pump will reverse its operation; instead of finding ambient heat in the air, it will pull the heat out of your home and radiate it outside. The furnace
won't ignite, but will instead serve as a variable-speed blower to move the cooled air produced by the
heat pump. This year-long efficiency is what makes Trane EarthWise^™ Hybrids such a smart choice.

Hybrid heating systems combine the benefits of electric and fossil fuel power into one effective home comfort system. Because the system adapts between fuel sources, it optimizes your home's energy efficiency by using the source that works best for the seasonal and weather conditions. Tec Air Heating and Air Conditioning is proud to offer the Trane© Ultra Efficient EarthWise^™ Hybrid Split system, which combines an XLi electric heat pump with a variable speed gas or oil furnace for peak efficiency.

• Hybrid heating systems keep your home comfortable no matter what the climate
• Electric heat pump maximizes the use of ambient heat in the air, warming your home during the cold, but milder months
• System switches to gas or heating oil to provide sufficient heat for your desired comfort level in severe cold
• System switch point includes the option to temporarily override the settings with a built in Comfort Control Module

During the warmer months, the heat pump reverses operation, pulling heat out of your home and redirecting it outside. Without igniting, the furnace serves as a variable speed blower circulating cooled air produced by the heat pump's cooling operation. The Comfort-R^™ technology controls humidity and circulates cool air more evenly throughout your home. This system is efficient, season after season, keeping your home comfortable and bills low.
