BRYANT OFFERS CONSUMERS THE UTMOST
IN EFFICIENCY WITH HYBRID HEAT TECHNOLOGY
With today’s uncertainty surrounding utility costs, heating and cooling
your home in an affordable manner has become a major concern. The
Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that due to rising
oil prices, heating bills for all fuel types will cost Americans about
one-third more this winter compared to last year. For the 55 percent of
Americans who use natural gas to heat their homes, efficiency is a top
priority this heating season.
Just as hybrid vehicles are emerging as an attractive transportation
alternative, dual fuel heating systems are the latest in efficient,
economical comfort for the home. Bryant Heating and Cooling Systems has
always developed heating and cooling systems with the future in mind.
In the same way that hybrid cars use gas and electricity as combined
sources of power, Bryant’s Hybrid Heat™ system lets homeowners heat
their home with the most economical combination available by joining a
heat pump with a gas furnace.
Hybrid Heat, available through Advantage, allows you to enjoy
year-round use of your outdoor equipment by utilizing a heat pump to
cool your home. The heat pump acts as your air conditioner in the
summer months, cooling your home just like a traditional air
conditioner. But as temperatures fall and your home needs heating, the
heat pump reverses its role and begins providing heat to your home. And
don’t forget - when it’s cooling season again, the heat pump will go
back to cooling your home.
With the combination of Bryant’s furnace and heat pump, the result is
maximum efficiency because each system operates when it is most
cost-effective. The energy-saving duo capitalizes on less expensive
electricity to heat the home in milder weather, switching to more
effective gas heating in colder weather. Studies show that heating
savings of up to an additional 25 percent can be achieved when
comparing a “heating only,” 90 percent variable-speed furnace versus a
hybrid heating system (a 90 percent variable-speed furnace and a 15
SEER heat pump).
Increased efficiency is just one of the benefits of Bryant’s Hybrid
Heat systems. Bryant’s systems are designed to produce output
temperatures 15-18 degrees warmer than most traditional heat pumps. And
when the temperature is very cold outside, your Hybrid Heat system will
switch to the gas furnace, producing additional warmth to keep you
comfortable in the coldest of temperatures.
Hybrid Heat is also about ease. With Bryant’s controls, all you have to
do is set your desired temperature and let the system take care of the
rest. Whether you choose a dual fuel thermostat, a Thermidistat™
Control or the Evolution™ Control, Bryant’s controls do all the work
for you by optimizing the best heat source for either a comfort setting
or an economical setting. The comfort setting gives first consideration
to your idea of comfort. The economical setting gives first
consideration to the cost of gas and electricity. A balance point is
then determined by the system to decide which source of heat will be
used to condition your home.
Hybrid Heat systems save money for consumers while combining comfort, technology, reliability and quality.
