A hybrid heat pump system integrates an air source heat pump (ASHP) with a traditional heating system, typically a gas or oil furnace. The two systems work together, automatically switching between them based on the outdoor temperature and your home’s heating needs. This is why it is commonly referred to as a system, rather than a unit. It uses multiple parts working in tandem to maintain comfort year-round. Find out what an ASHP is and how it works. When the temperature is moderate, the air source heat pump handles the heating, drawing warmth from the outside air and delivering it into your home. However, when Ottawa’s winter temperatures drop to extreme lows, the system switches to the furnace, ensuring your home stays warm even when the ASHP might struggle to extract sufficient heat from the air.
Here’s how a hybrid heat pump
works: the system constantly monitors outdoor
temperatures and calculates the most efficient way to heat your home. When
temperatures are above a certain threshold—typically around 4°C—the air source heat
pump operates as the primary heating source. It extracts heat from the outside air,
even in cooler conditions, and transfers it into your home. This process is highly
energy-efficient, as ASHPs can produce up to
three or four times the heat energy
they consume in electricity.
As temperatures drop further, the efficiency of the air source heat pump decreases, which is where the hybrid system’s intelligence comes into play. When it becomes more economical to use the furnace, the system automatically switches over, ensuring that your home remains warm without wasting energy. This seamless transition between the two systems is what makes hybrid heat pumps particularly appealing in climates like Ottawa’s, where winter temperatures can vary significantly.
One of the key advantages of hybrid heat pumps is their ability to optimize energy use. By relying on the air source heat pump when temperatures are moderate and switching to the furnace only when necessary, hybrid systems reduce overall energy consumption. This can lead to significant cost savings on your heating bills, especially during Ottawa’s long heating season. Additionally, because the furnace is used less frequently, it experiences less wear and tear, potentially extending its lifespan.
Another advantage of hybrid heat pumps is their ability to provide consistent comfort throughout the year. The system’s ability to switch between heating sources ensures that your home remains warm and comfortable, regardless of how cold it gets outside. This adaptability is particularly valuable in Ottawa, where winter temperatures can be unpredictable, sometimes fluctuating drastically within a single day.
In conclusion, hybrid heat pumps offer a highly efficient and adaptable heating solution for Ottawa homes. By combining the strengths of air source heat pumps with the reliability of a traditional furnace, hybrid systems ensure that your home remains warm and comfortable, regardless of the weather. They provide significant energy savings, reduce environmental impact, and offer a versatile solution for year-round climate control. While the initial cost and system complexity are important considerations, the long-term benefits of a hybrid heat pump make it a compelling choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their heating system and embrace a more sustainable future.

1. Frequent breakdowns: Are you calling the repair technician more often than you'd like? Frequent breakdowns mean your hybrid heat pump system is nearing the end of its lifespan. Those repairs add up, and eventually, a replacement will save you money.
2. Increasing energy bills: If your energy bills are climbing but you're not cranking up the heat, your heat pump is probably working too hard to maintain temperatures. This is a sign that it's no longer running efficiently.
3. Uneven heating: If you've ever realized that certain rooms in your house tend to feel colder, than others even when the heating system is on it could indicate that the furnace is struggling to spread warmth across your living space.
4. Strange noises: If your hybrid heat pump is making strange noises or emitting odd smells, it’s not just annoying; it’s a red flag. These signs often indicate serious internal issues that require immediate attention, and likely, a replacement.
5. Age of the furnace: Typically heat pumps last about 15 20 years. If your furnace is getting close, to or passing this age range it might be an idea to think about getting a new one even if it hasn't displayed any significant issues so far.
If you're experiencing more than two of these signs, please contact TheJupital today! We can assess the condition of your furnace and recommend the most cost-effective course of action.

We had used TheJupital HVAC in the past a few times for servicing our furnace. When we experienced issues with our furnace this time we called for their services. Very polite on the phone and arrived at our place within 1 and half hour. Checked the furnace and it was determined that replacement was necessary. They explained the issue to us and what was needed. Explained what steps they were going to take in replacing the furnace. Stated they would be at our place the next day at 9 with the replacement. They were there at 8:30 and spent the next 4 to 5 hours in replacing our furnace with a new one. Their service was great and they made sure everything was completed as they had told us and in time. Really appreciate the exceptional and timely service they provided in our time of need. Really appreciate their work and would recommend them in the future. Reliable, Timely and efficient service wins customers and they have certainly won us. Thanks TheJupital.

I was thoroughly impressed with the impeccable service and punctuality of the workers. Their cleanliness, knowledge, and efficiency stood out as they seamlessly integrated the heating system with the air conditioning system in a confined space. Additionally, their attention to detail extended to reassembling all the walls post-work. I highly recommend their services, giving them a solid 10 out of 10.

Had them service my HVAC's and they were very thorough and professional. Their employees pointed out some issues I had and were very open and honest of what they can and will not do out of consideration of me as a customer I do not feel they are there to cash grab like some others and at the end of the day i paid for their visit and assessment which was honest and allowed me to make a better decision on how to approach my system. I will go back to TheJupital for future services and assessment of my unit.

Best service a customer could ask for. Have been our families go to for our furnace needs over the years and this past time they truly went above and beyond. Heat stopped working one morning, called to see if anyone was able to come check on it thinking being so last minute they’d be too busy. Was gladfully proved wrong. Came within an hour, diagnosed problem with it needing to be replaced. They were back the next morning earlier then time originally given which was awesome and ended up completing within a few hours. Everything has been working great and I can’t recommend them enough. To top it off they’re just such nice and genuine people. Thank you so much!

These guys are great! We had an aging furnace that needed replacing. TheJupital came onto my radar as they did an install at a relative’s place. From the very beginning, Sasha was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative, knowledgeable, and quick. He was one of the only vendors I researched that provided a detailed, professional quote vs. handwritten numbers on the back of a napkin. As you may imagine, this doesn’t work for grant purposes. Sasha and his team easily negotiated a tight furnace room and replaced the unit within the day. They were extremely efficient (I don’t think they even ate/took a break). Highly recommended if you need some work done!

I recently had to upgrade my furnace for insurance purposes and had a tight deadline. Sasha at TheJupital took my initial call Thurs and carefully explained things in detail from the beginning all the way till after the installation on Monday. I took a few quotes and went with TheJupital for its good reviews, A+ BBB rating and for Sasha's absolute professionalism and kindness. Not pushy at all. Answered calls promptly. Even when some unexpected issues came up, his team worked hard and long to get it done right in one day. Took the extra time and even missed their breaks. I want to thank Sasha and his team for being so accommodating and working so hard to complete the job so promptly.
