HVAC-type hybrid systems are similar to split, with some notable differences. These systems are making steady progress as they can reduce energy costs through hybrid electric heating systems that set them apart from other HVAC systems.
Hybrid split HVAC systems share the same structure and cooling unit as split systems but do not rely solely on gas to generate heat. While the heater can burn gas, it can also switch to electricity. This system, which relies on traditional ducts and thermostats, also offers all the benefits of a split system, with the added benefit of saving energy and reducing utility costs.
