Looking for a hybrid system?
Hybrid heating combines two systems — most commonly a boiler and heat pump — to give you an efficient, low-carbon way to heat your home all year round.
What is hybrid heating and how does it work?
Hybrid heating generally pairs a boiler (gas or oil) with an air-to-water heat pump — the heat pump handles around 80% of the work, with the boiler stepping in only when needed, like on the coldest days. But boiler and heat pump isn’t the only option: depending on your home and needs, other combinations can work just as well. The result is a flexible system that’s cheaper to run and lower carbon, while still guaranteeing heat when you need it.

What benefits can you expect from a hybrid system?
Hybrid systems save you money by using a heat pump to do most of the work — cutting your reliance on costly, price-volatile fossil fuels. They’re also greener, especially when paired with solar panels, and simple to install: we don’t remove your existing boiler, we just add the heat pump, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Benefits of hybrid heating:
- Save money by reducing the gas or oil you consume
- Stay warm, even in freezing temperatures
- Protect your bills from rising fossil fuel costs
- Reduce carbon emissions, especially when paired with solar PV
- Simple to install — no need to remove your existing boiler
- Works with any boiler type — gas, oil, LPG, electric or biomass
Why should I use a hybrid system?
Hybrid systems suit all homes, but they’re especially valuable for properties where a heat pump alone would struggle — think pre-1960 builds, period homes, or anywhere with poorer insulation or glazing. That said, we’ve fitted hybrid systems in all sorts of properties, from terraced homes and flats to mansions and office blocks.
