Hybrid heat pumps: a no-regret solution for the decarbonization of buildings

Hybrid heat pumps, typically combining an electric heat pump, a boiler, and smart control systems, offer a “no-regret” solution for the decarbonization of buildings. They provide efficient space heating and hot water while reducing energy consumption and emissions. With a hybrid heat pump – gas condensing boiler installation, gas consumption can be cut by 60-90% compared to standalone boilers. Hybrid heat pumps are versatile, suitable for different buildings, including poorly insulated historical structures, and can be installed incrementally without extensive modifications to the building.
