Experience the future of home heating with hybrid boiler systems from GLR Energy. These innovative heating solutions combine the reliability of a traditional gas boiler with the efficiency of an air source heat pump, delivering optimal performance and energy savings. Based in Chester and recognised as Heating Company of the Year, we provide expert hybrid boiler installation across Cheshire, North Wales, Merseyside, Manchester, and West Yorkshire.
What are Hybrid Boiler Systems?
Hybrid boiler systems represent the perfect marriage of traditional and renewable heating technology. These intelligent systems automatically switch between a highly efficient gas boiler and an air source heat pump, depending on outdoor temperature and energy demand, ensuring you always receive the most efficient and cost-effective heating solution.
How Hybrid Systems Work:
- Air source heat pump operates during milder weather for maximum efficiency
- Gas boiler takes over during colder periods when heat pumps are less efficient
- Intelligent controls automatically select the most efficient heating source
- Seamless switching ensures consistent comfort throughout the year
Benefits of Hybrid Boiler Systems
Maximum Efficiency
Hybrid systems deliver up to 94% efficiency by intelligently switching between heating sources based on outdoor conditions and energy costs.
Lower Running Costs
Reduce your heating bills by up to 30% compared to traditional gas boilers alone, using the most cost-effective fuel source at any given time.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Significantly lower CO2 emissions by utilising renewable heat pump technology when conditions are optimal.
Future-Proof Investment
Prepare for changing energy policies and potential gas phase-outs whilst maintaining reliable heating today.
Government Incentives
Eligible for renewable energy incentives and grants, making the investment even more attractive.
Reliable Backup
Unlike standalone heat pumps, hybrid systems provide the security of gas backup during extreme cold weather.
When Hybrid Systems Excel
Hybrid boiler systems are particularly effective for:
Existing Gas Properties
Perfect for homes with existing gas connections who want to embrace renewable technology without losing reliability.
Partial Renewable Solution
Ideal for properties where a full heat pump installation isn't practical due to insulation or space constraints.
Variable Heating Demands
Excellent for homes with fluctuating occupancy or heating requirements throughout the year.
Energy Cost Optimisation
Smart systems that automatically choose the cheapest fuel source based on current tariffs.
