Enjoy the incredible energy efficiency of an air source heat pump for moderate cooling and heating needs. When the temperature drops further, the system automatically switches to the raw power of the gas furnace for robust, high-output heating.
The system’s smart thermostat constantly analyzes which fuel source—electricity for the heat pump or gas for the furnace—is more economical at any given moment. It makes the choice for you, guaranteeing you are always paying the lowest possible price for your comfort.
A hybrid system provides total peace of mind. With two independent heating sources, you have built-in redundancy. You’ll stay warm and comfortable even during the coldest winter weather or in the unlikely event one of the systems requires service.
By sharing the workload, a dual fuel system prevents either the heat pump or the furnace from being overworked. The heat pump handles the long, steady runs, while the furnace takes care of the heavy lifting, leading to less wear and tear and a longer life for both units.
For the majority of the year, you will be using the highly efficient, low-emission electric heat pump. This significantly reduces your overall carbon footprint compared to relying solely on a fossil fuel-burning furnace.
The gas furnace component often features a powerful, variable-speed blower, which can improve airflow and dehumidification during the summer cooling season, enhancing the overall performance of the heat pump’s air conditioning cycle.
Piranha Ecotech Electromechanical designs integrated hybrid systems using best-in-class components for seamless communication and performance.
This configuration contains the air source heat pump, the gas furnace, and the evaporator coil all within a single, self-contained cabinet. It is typically installed on the roof or on a concrete slab next to the property, making it ideal for homes without basement or utility closet space.
This flexible setup consists of a traditional outdoor air source heat pump unit, an indoor gas furnace, and an evaporator coil that is mounted on top of the furnace. This is the most popular configuration and is perfect for upgrading existing furnace systems.
This advanced configuration pairs an air-to-water heat pump with a gas-fired boiler. The system produces heated water that can be used for underfloor radiant heating or radiators, offering a premium comfort experience with the cost-saving intelligence of a dual fuel setup.
Choosing the right components for a hybrid system is key to unlocking its full potential.
The primary requirement is a connection to a natural gas line, which is available in some UAE communities, or the use of a Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG/Propane) tank. The availability and cost of gas will be a major factor in the system’s design.
It is crucial that both the heat pump and the furnace are correctly sized for your property. The heat pump is sized for your primary cooling load, while the furnace is sized to handle the full heating load on the coldest design day.
The thermostat is the brain of the system. You need a dual fuel compatible smart thermostat that can control both pieces of equipment and be programmed with your local utility rates to manage the automatic switchover effectively.
For optimal performance and efficiency, the heat pump, furnace, and indoor coil should be from the same manufacturer and designed to work together as a “matched system.” This ensures seamless communication and integration.
The setup of the “balance point” in the thermostat is a critical step that must be performed by a professional HVAC technician. Piranha Ecotech Electromechanical programs the system based on your specific equipment and local energy costs to guarantee correct operation.

The main advantage is having a powerful backup heat source (the furnace). This ensures you have robust heating on the coldest nights and provides system redundancy, while still benefiting from the heat pump’s efficiency most of the time.
Not necessarily. While natural gas is ideal, a hybrid system can also be paired with a furnace that runs on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG or propane) from a storage tank, making it viable for properties without a gas line.
The initial cost is higher than a standalone heat pump or furnace because you are installing two major pieces of equipment. However, it can be a cost-effective upgrade if you already have a functional furnace and are just adding the heat pump and smart thermostat.
The switchover is based on the “economic balance point” programmed into the smart thermostat by your Piranha Ecotech technician. This point is determined by the heat pump’s efficiency at a given outdoor temperature versus the cost of running the gas furnace.
Yes. The system uses the high-efficiency air source heat pump for all of its cooling operations during the summer, providing the same significant energy savings over older AC units. The “hybrid” aspect primarily relates to optimizing heating costs.
While technically possible, it is strongly recommended to use a “matched system” where both components are from the same manufacturer and designed to communicate with each other for optimal efficiency and performance.
While still a premium option, it is growing in popularity, especially in communities with natural gas infrastructure or for owners of large villas who want the most reliable and powerful heating performance for the winter months.
It requires annual professional maintenance for both the heat pump component and the furnace component to ensure both systems are clean, safe, and operating efficiently. Piranha Ecotech offers a comprehensive Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) that covers the entire system.
Yes, most dual fuel thermostats allow you to manually select “emergency heat,” which will lock out the heat pump and run the furnace exclusively if needed.
Proper setup is critical for a hybrid system to deliver savings. Our technicians are trained not just in installation, but in the crucial commissioning process—calibrating the smart thermostat’s balance point to your specific equipment and energy costs to ensure it functions as intended.
