There are many different reasons why you may be looking to transition your company’s building away from fossil fuels towards electricity—it’s cleaner, it’s healthier, and more energy efficient, saving your business money while being more environmentally friendly.
Whatever your main motivation is, there are a number of options available to get local New Jersey and Pennsylvania commercial buildings on the path towards commercial electrification. One of the best is hybrid heat pump installation from Princeton Air. These HVAC systems, manufactured by one of the leading heating and cooling companies in the US, Trane, deliver high efficiency operation without sacrificing comfort. Here’s how your business can benefit from an upgrade.
What Are Hybrid Heat Pump HVAC Systems?
Hybrid heat pump systems, sometimes called dual fuel HVAC systems, involve two separate heating and cooling units: a Trane heat pump and a Trane furnace.
What are the benefits of the Trane heat pump?
Electric heat pumps use no fossil fuel, and they’re significantly more efficient than conventional electric resistance heating systems or oil or gas furnaces. This means that whenever your heat pump is running, it is costing you less. Trane heat pumps have both heating and cooling settings, which means you’ll be able to rely on your heat pump to deliver affordable whole home comfort for the vast majority of the year!
What are the benefits of the Trane furnace?
While heat pumps can be a real benefit, they do come with one drawback. Heat pumps heat your business by absorbing heat from the outdoors and transferring it inside. While heat pumps are designed to remove heat even from cold air, when temperatures drop, so does a heat pump’s efficiency, and during the coldest days of winter in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, your heat pump may struggle to keep your business warm.
How Does a Hybrid Heat Pump HVAC System Work?
In a commercial hybrid heat pump system, your heat pump will act as your primary heating and cooling system, running all summer long on AC mode and on heating mode during most cooler weather days. But when temperatures fall below a certain point, your system will automatically transition over the Trane furnace to make sure that your building is never struggling to stay comfortable.
A hybrid system allows your business to save money on high efficiency HVAC operation without sacrificing comfort when you need it most. It also allows you to take a significant step in the direction of commercial electrification.
