By pairing a highly efficient Bosch outdoor heat pump with an indoor gas furnace, your home automatically chooses the cheapest way to keep you comfortable based on the weather outside.
When most people hear the term "heat pump," they think they have to completely get rid of their gas furnace.
But there’s a much smarter, hybrid approach that gives you the best of both worlds: a Dual Fuel system.
By pairing a highly efficient Bosch outdoor heat pump with an indoor gas furnace, your home automatically chooses the cheapest way to keep you comfortable based on the weather outside.
Instead of blasting your home with air and shutting down, the Bosch Inverter system hums along in the background, matching the exact heating or cooling needs of your home at any given time.
Why Variable Speed Changes Everything
Standard heating and cooling systems are either 100% ON or 100% OFF. Think of it like driving a car where you can only slam on the gas pedal or hit the brakes. This constant stop-and-go wastes fuel and wears out your components fast.
The Bosch Inverter system works entirely differently. It has a variable-speed compressor that can scale its operation anywhere from 28% up to 118% speed, or 128% for 20 SEER2 models.
Instead of blasting your home with air and shutting down, it hums along in the background, matching the exact heating or cooling needs of your home at any given time.
Lower Power Bills: Because it runs at lower speeds for longer periods, it uses significantly less electrical current (amperage). It takes less energy to keep a house at a constant temperature than it does to repeatedly turn a massive system on and off.
Whisper Quiet: Standard systems can be incredibly loud when they kick on. At just 56 decibels, the Bosch outdoor unit is about as quiet as a normal conversation or a gentle rainfall.
The Hybrid Advantage
During mild spring, summer, and fall days—even during most of our winter days— the electric Bosch heat pump handles the work with incredible efficiency. When the temperature plummets during the coldest winter stretches, the system automatically switches over to your gas furnace.
The best part?
If your current indoor gas furnace is still in good health and compatible, we can often retro-fit the Bosch outdoor heat pump right onto your existing setup. You get the massive energy savings of an advanced inverter system without paying to replace a perfectly good furnace.
