Two choices are better than one

How our Hybrid Comfort System works

An American Standard Hybrid Comfort System pairs a gas furnace with an electric heat pump. This innovative combination allows you to choose from two sources of heating in order to respond to fluctuations in utility costs – for substantial savings year after year.

In winter a heat pump uses electricity to capture the heat that is always present in the outside air and pumps it back into your home, while a furnace burns natural gas to heat the indoor air. With a Hybrid Comfort System, the best heating option is selected according to weather conditions and utility prices. To ensure cost-effectiveness, your independent American Standard dealer will determine when y our system should automatically switch from electric to gas heat. However, you may also use a programmable Comfort Control to run your system in the most economical fashion.

While your Hybrid Comfort System can help provide greater savings on your heating bills, the components also work together to bring you effective, efficient cooling. In the summer the heat pump functions as an air conditioner, pulling the heat out of your home and releasing it outdoors. In addition, the electric fan blower in the furnace helps circulate cool air from the heat pump throughout your home.

Take comfort in the highest levels of performance, efficiency and savings with our ultimate Hybrid Comfort System. Featuring cost-effective two-stage heating and cooling, it runs at an energy-saving capacity in every season, and in winter it virtually eliminates short cycling and temperature swings. Variable speed blowers and our exclusive Comfort-R technology also provide quieter startups and shutdowns, more even temperatures throughout your home and greater humidity control during cooling.

While this ultimate system is composed of our most advanced models, your independent American Standard dealer can also recommend a Hybrid Comfort System, combining any of our heat pumps and furnaces, to fit your lifestyle and your comfort needs.
