Can we have cold weather heatpumps added to existing furnaces?

This course discusses the market launch of Hybrid Heat Pump Systems which introduces the combination of a gas furnace with a Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump. It reviews the components of a Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump and how the integration with a gas furnace provides cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly cooling and heating all year round through a versatile design that optimizes the use of variable speed technology and smart controls resulting in lower utility bills, lower GHG emissions and a quieter outdoor environment; all while providing the perfect level of comfort.
