HYBRID SYSTEM
Want to take a step towards renewables, but not sure where to start?
The Alpha E-Tec Hybrid is the perfect stepping stone offering many advantages for homeowners who want to adopt low-carbon heating but may not be able to take the heat pump-only route.

A hybrid heat pump and gas boiler system is an option where the heat pump provides heating while the gas combi boiler produces hot water and additional heating when required - this can change automatically to reflect the household needs.

Householders can tap into the benefits of a heat pump without giving up their familiar combi boiler and save money on future energy bills.
The government is keen on heat pumps as a solution for domestic properties because they offer several advantages for homeowners. An air source heat pump is an energy-efficient heating system that takes low-temperature heat from the outdoor air and increases that heat energy-efficiently.
One of the problems with the way heat pumps are often presented is that households face an ‘either-or’ decision which means getting rid of the gas boiler altogether. But that’s not necessarily the case.
A hybrid heat pump and gas boiler system is an option where the heat pump provides heating while the gas combi boiler produces hot water and additional heating when required - this can change automatically to reflect the household needs. Hybrid systems are an ideal solution for homes that aren’t suitable for a heat pump on its own. And for householders who want to reduce their carbon footprint and energy bills without losing the convenience of a gas boiler.
