The hybrids are nice. I had one in the former house it worked out very
well. I have no furnace in the current house. Temps here rarely drop
below 40, so I just use a Dyson bladeless in my bedroom at night in case I
get chilly. It heats the room from chilly to toasty in about five minutes.

Have not looked into thermal because HOA has rules against it (which a
few families are fighting to get changed).
Even looked into geo-tehrmal, but the installation costs are a lot
more than we can afford at this time.
Even if we don;t go with the 'hybrid' solution, the furnace we are
getting is

Have you looked into Solar Thermal as well?
And note that propane contains over twice the usable energy content per
cubic foot. When you upgrade you might find that you could
Yea...that is what we have been told - and even if we do not get the
hybrid, the new furnace is more efficient than what we have (much more
efficient)

The house we bought a few years ago has a heat pump/furnace hybrid thing
going on. On some of the colder days, when it's using the heat pump, it
doesn't feel quite as warm.but that's the trade off you make ( you
aren't going to be able to get the same level comfort for the same price ).

We just installed a new heat pump and furnace in hour house (the old
one was about to give out) in June. Can't really comment about price

My wife and I are investigating upgrading our HVAC system.
Currently, we have two zone heat/ac - currently a heat pump services
upstairs, AC & gas furnace service the main floor and basement. One
option being presented to us is to install a 'hybrid' system for the
main floor. Basically, it uses t
