    Residential Focus: Hybrid Heat

    Goodman

    Goodman® brand dual fuel heating systems combine a high-efficiency Goodman heat pump and a high AFUE Goodman gas furnace to help homeowners battle rising fuel costs, without compromising interior comfort, sources say.

    The Goodman dual fuel system seamlessly alternates between two energy sources. As outdoor temperatures change, the Goodman dual fuel system selects the most economical fuel source to heat the home — either the heat pump or the gas furnace.

    When the season turns warmer, the Goodman heat pump delivers cool air, functioning like a high-efficient air conditioner.

    Lennox

    The Dave Lennox Signature® Collection XPG15 Dedicated Dual-Fuel heat pump is optimized for highly efficient dual-fuel performance.

    In cooling season, the XPG15 functions like an air conditioner, pulling heat from the air inside and pumping it outside.

    During the coldest winter months, the XPG15 works with any Lennox high-efficiency gas furnace to provide money-saving comfort. When the weather gets too cold for the heat pump to operate efficiently, the furnace automatically takes over to provide needed warmth.
