What is a Hybrid Heating System?

A hybrid heating system (also referred to as a dual-fuel system) is an HVAC system that combines two or more heating sources. Typically, the system consists of a gas furnace or boiler and a heat pump. This is likely the most efficient and cost saving heat pump configuration for your home. When temperatures drop significantly the furnace may be needed to generate more heat quickly and effectively.

Reasons to Get a Heat Pump Instead of an AC

Heat pumps are dynamic 2-in-1 systems that both heat and cool a space.

Heat pumps might even take up less space than an air conditioner, depending on the model.

When you use a heat pump, you don’t emit exhaust. Heat pumps are powered by electricity and only transfer heat from one place to another.

Heat pumps can be used as a supplemental heat source in your cottage, basement, attic, or home.

When sized and installed properly, a heat pump can do most, if not all, of the heating your home may require.

Heat pump technology isn’t new. It’s been around and in use for many decades. Therefore, the tech is only getting better and better.

You can get a ducted heat pump or ductless heat pump. That means, even without ductwork, you have options.

Since heat pumps are so efficient and effective, the government and Enbridge Gas have rebates and grants to help Canadians make the switch.

Why You Need a Heat Pump Specialist

These systems have intricate inner workings and require specialized knowledge to properly install and care for them. Working with a heat pump installation specialist ensures:

  • Accurate sizing
  • Proper installation
  • Adequate airflow
  • Precise calibration
  • Expert service

Delta has done it again!2024:We reached out to Jordan again, this time for installation of an ERV (energy recovery ventilator). The ERV continuously exchanges air between outdoors and indoors, while recovering heat and moisture. In essence, it's a very efficient way of providing continuous fresh air for improved indoor air quality. We also had the exhaust fan upgraded in the basement bathroom, and had the central vac exhaust vented directly outdoors. The work is nice and tidy, much like our furnace/AC replacement in 2019. The new bathroom fan is much quieter and more powerful than the old one. The motion and humidity sensor is a nice touch. We also really appreciate the improved indoor air quality from the ERV unit. One little extra is that they were also able to fix our central vac canister in the garage (just needed one new part to get it running). Very pleased once again!2019:We reached out to Delta Air Systems to replace our very old and inefficient furnace and AC. The salesperson, Jordan, is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable. She met with us in our home for a free estimate, and carefully walked us through the world of furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, HRVs, air purification systems, and more. She was very patient in answering all our questions – and encouraged us to keep asking! She also included an extra reusable air filter (for which she was happy to shop around for us) in the quoted price!Jordan returned the morning of the installation to check in on things and answer any further questions we had. Scott and Liam worked very efficiently to complete the job in one day – but certainly not at the expense of workmanship. These guys are true professionals. Perhaps the best word to describe it is meticulous. In fact, our utility room has never looked better!The new system is extremely quiet – a HUGE improvement from what it replaced. We look forward to many years of quiet and efficient comfort!For all your heating, cooling, and air filtration needs in Waterloo Region, look no further than Delta Air Systems!

Amazing service! Knowledgeable staff & great customer service! Had a maintenance check for HVAC system recently; had a minor service call a couple of years ago for an overflowing a/c drain pipe due to extended hot days; had an installation to replace our old combi heating/cooling unit 4 years ago. Everyone there is always professional, helpful, polite & provides great advice. Technicians show up on time, respectful, answer questions & give valuable recommendations. Thank you for everyone's great work!

Just like babies aren’t born during the day, when it’s convenient, our furnace waited until it was -11C to give out … and on a Sunday.  Nothing like a worried senior couple.I called the emergency line and Megan listened to me babble and was able to come within a ridiculously short period of time.This is a very experienced HVAC tech – she diagnosed the problem, swapped in a part and had the thing fixed in 10 minutes.  And used the spare time to inspect our coils.This is our second service call.  Braeden came to fix our first issue and he too was professional and competent (and polite).This is the best service experience we’ve had.  Having just moved here from Toronto we now depend on Delta Air Systems for our HVAC support. We highly recommend them.

We received fantastic service from the young lady who fixed our furnace. She was knowledgeable and professional, explained the issue to us and was luckily able to resolve the problem on the spot. She gave us some tips to extend the life of our furnace and the price for the service was very reasonable. We did not feel like there was any intent to upsell and believe the technician was working in our best interest to keep our 23 year old unit running as it is in good condition. I would highly recommend Delta as I felt the service provided was top notch.

I waited to review to see difference in utilities over past year. They installed 3 heat pumps in 110 year old house which was complicated due to renovations - getting heat/AC to each room. Jason; Scott; Tyler; Jordan; Zack were extremely helpful in placement of units for most efficient service installation in most unobtrusive place outside conduit and inside units. We have whole house AC now and radiators are augmented by heat pumps so more comfortable heat in an old house. Gas and hydro bills all reduced. As well, admin staff were very helpful. Excellent work and follow-up!! Thank you

My Lennox AC failed over the summer. Called around, decided to have Delta perform the service. Very friendly on the phone, I described the issue I was having. The technician was dispatched with the part available on the first visit. This saved time and money. Definitely calling them again for my future needs.

We inherited the HVAC system from a previous homeowner. One day, the A/C unit stopped working, and we made the mistake of calling the A*** O** company (the edits are mine). The company ran a diagnostic and told us that the motor, which pumps air, had failed and needed replacement. They quoted us $1600 for the replacement and also suggested that we might want to consider replacing the whole unit with one that would be covered by warranty. We spoke with their salesperson who tried hard to upsell us on a new air pump system, costing around $12k.Our second call was to Delta. The salesperson, Tanya, was very knowledgeable and explained that we didn't need any replacement as the unit was relatively new and was most likely still under warranty. They were able to verify this the next day and sent us a technician to replace the motor for free, charging us only for the labor.Amazing job, and thank you for keeping the customer's interests a priority!

Delta is our go to spot anytime we have issues with our AC or furnace. Our AC decided to break on us in the middle of a heat wave. The lady I spoke to on the phone with was very helpful and reassuring. The technician came out (I think his name was Liam?) and went above and beyond for us! He was friendly, professional and cleaned up really good after himself. Even our dog (who doesn’t care for people) absolutely loved him- so brownie points for that! Thank you Delta Air Systems Ltd!

We recently had an install of a tankless water heater, furnace, and heat pump from Delta. From a sales perspective, Jay was extremely responsive to all of our inquiries prior to purchasing. He is very kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. Having a background and experience in the trade certainly helped. Jay was able to thoroughly answer all of our questions and address our concerns. He provided us with comparisons of the units we were considering, his professional opinion, and a variety of options for us to consider. He educated us in the benefits of a heat pump. We were impressed that he was able to accommodate all of our last minute requests as well during and after install.During the install, Scott and Matt were timely, efficient, clean, and quiet. They were respectful of our home by using mats to walk on and always left things clean and tidy before leaving each day. They allowed for questioning throughout and provided detailed information regarding operating the equipment upon completion of the project.We would highly recommend Delta and had a pleasant experience working with each of the team members.Thank you 🙏

Due to some work completed by another service provider (sub-contracted), we were in a real pickle when we turned on the AC for the first time this year and it wasn't working. The "other guy" recommended full replacement of a 6 year old system. Delta diagnosed and determined parts were under warranty and replaced them in a timely fashion. From the first call with Annie, to our Technician Megan and communication with Jordan (apologies, the fellow who helped with the thermostat was great too), EVERYONE was super professional, helpful and went the extra mile(s) to make a really crumby situation less crumby. Our final bill was 1/3 of what we were told we were looking at for a full replacement. Thank you Delta Air!

This is the most fantastic company you will find. I had a new furnace and heat pump installed. Jason 1 was amazing in describing the benefits of the system I bought and Jason 2 did an amazing install job with his crew correcting the wiring errors of the previous company. Jordan personally came out along with Zack and provided me with all the information I needed re: the new Ecobee thermostat. This is the best company you will find!!!!

We purchased our high efficiency Lennox furnace and A/C system from Delta Air Systems in 2014 and have been happy with its operation since, except for the flow through humidifier that was installed at the time. We hadn't used the humidifier up until now as it seemed to be wasting a lot of water. When I mentioned this to Jordan at the Delta booth at the local home show, she arranged for a technician to come and look at it free of charge the next business day. After checking the system and replacing a clogged and upside down humidifier pad, the humidifier began to work but still seemed to waste a lot of water. He recommended that we install a water saver switch that would help reduce the amount of water wasted. The next day the technician showed up with a water saver, installed and set it, and verified that it was working. And to my very pleasant surprise, he told me that the cost for all this work, including the parts, was being covered by Delta Air Systems since it had been such a long time that we'd been unable to use it. Thank you Jordan and team for your EXCELLENT customer service.

Waterloo Delta Air Systems is a Top Notch Company! From my first phone call to the completion of our Greener Homes Grant Refund.I called to have our furnace inspected before the winter and was given an appointment immediately. I was very pleasantly surprised when the technician who arrived was a woman!!!! She did a very thorough inspection and discovered that there were cracks in our heat exchange. We would need a new furnace! She gave us the choice of when was most convenient to have her shut down the furnace so we would not be cold.We called Delta and and immediately got an appointment with the sales rep Jason Adlys and he was amazing. He narrowed down the best choices for our furnace and air conditioner. He told us about rebates available. He helped solved problems related to installing new equipment in an old home. Three fellows worked on our house and completed the entire Installation in one day! They also ran into some problems with new equipment/ old house but were able to problem solve and install everything perfectly. All follow up and questions were dealt with promptly and efficiently. In order to apply for the Greener Homes Grant, we given all the documentation and guidance needed.We are very impressed with Delta Waterloo Heating and Air Conditioning Company.John and Margaret Hunking Jan 2023

Our furnace croaked on a cold Saturday in January. I called Delta Air Systems and Zack the technician was at our house in an hour. He quickly diagnosed the problem (motor was fried) and offered to have a new motor installed later that evening. The furnace was 12 years old so he mentioned said we could consider a new furnace as well. We knew it was older and had suspected that the previous homeowners hadn't maintained it as well as they could have so we opted for a full replacement. The next morning at 9 am, Jay was there taking photos and measurements. He fully explained the process and eased all of our concerns. He quoted a great price and offered to lend us space heaters until the new furnace was installed. By 9am the following morning, Julian and Jacob were there installing the new furnace and removing the old one. The entire process was smooth and effortless. All of the Delta guys were extremely knowledgeable, polite and careful in our house. The work was quick and executed with great precision. The house was spotless after the work was done. The furnace is quiet and works perfectly. We are completely satisfied. Delta Air Systems is the best in the business! We will enlist their services for all of our heating and cooling needs moving forward. I highly recommend them.

I wholeheartedly recommend Delta for all of your furnace needs. Their customer service is top-notch, with every employee being courteous and helpful. I had the pleasure of working with Courtney in customer service, who was incredibly informative and promptly transferred me to Jordan, the service manager. They swiftly identified the best course of action to take. The technician, Zach, they sent was highly skilled and quickly resolved the issue. Delta not only saved me time and money, but they have earned my loyalty as a customer for any future needs.

Wish I could give six stars. I couldnt get the guys who installed my unit to call me back. Luckily, the manufacturer (Applied Comfort) recommended Delta Air Systems who dispatched a technician within a day. Big credit to ZACH for being super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If management is reading this please recognize ZACH as an excellent technician. Also, pricing was reasonable!

Bought last two furnaces and AC units from Delta Air Systems. Calvin was very professional and knowledgeable. He was very helpful with minor repairs to the heating system (ie. reset breakers etc.) that I have had for the past 10 years. Also, purchased a new heating and air conditioning system for my personal residence. Would recommend Delta Air Systems to anyone looking for a good company who preform quality work.

Delta was recommended to me by a friend when my heating system quit. After contacting them Jason came out, looked at my system and made some recommendations for a system that was a heat pump and backup gas furnace.Needless to say it was a bit of a scary experience when I saw the initial price but Jason walked me through the process to get a grant to cover a nice part of it. I did have some doubts and I expressed them to Delta. They understood and wanted me to be 100% sure. I did some research and felt comfortable about the choice.The install crew was Julian and Brad and I cannot say enough good things about them. They had to do a two day install (lots of work considering my old furnace was oversized and stuck in a small area) and were here on time each day. They didn't mind me checking things out and asking questions. When they left the first day they asked if they could leave some stuff in the garage which I appreciated, they didn't just assume it would be acceptable. The next day when they finished you would not know I had work done as every shred of packing materials, old duct work, etc was gone. Very professional.I look forward to dealing with Delta for all my maintenance etc for the new system.

I called Delta when my mother's furnace stopped working. They sent someone over the same day who was extremely thorough in doing the diagnostics and gave a detail explanation of what the issues were. They offered a couple of solutions and were very honest in their feedback and pricing. In addition, they offered to lend my mother a couple of heaters until the furnace could be repaired. It was a pleasure dealing with everyone at Delta. It has happened that other companies tried to take advantage of my elderly mother. This was definitely NOT something that I was worried about with Delta. I found them to be one of the most pleasant and honest companies I have ever dealt with. I would, with 100% confidence, recommend them to anyone.

Where do I start? Let's begin with Annie and Courtney in the office. Pleasant, polite and completely professional. Excellent people to have as first line of contact. Now, let's move to Zach. He's been doing this for almost 9 years and let me tell you, the man was fantastic. He was polite. He was personable. He was well spojen and he looked you in the eye when he talked to you. Talk about inspiring confidence! He was thorough and explained what needed to be done during the initial visit. When he came back to do the job, you would hardly know he was in the house. I mean, he replaced everything on the furnace and took the time to set things up correctly. We also have this air exchanger that I have never been able to figure out and he's the first person who was able to explain it to me. I have never felt more confident in my home's heating system then I do after the work that Zach did. You've probably heard this before but whatever Delta is paying Zach, it's not enough. This young man is the type of person that any employer would be happy to have representing them to customers.

Heat Pump Installation Financing

Delta offers HVAC financing and that includes financing for heat pumps. We offer flexible payment options and reasonable interest rates. With heat pump financing, you can get the system your home needs without worrying about the big expense. Plus, when you pair heat pump financing with available grants and rebates, you can save thousands of dollars on the installation.

Ducted vs Ductless Heat Pump Systems

Heat pumps are available in ducted and ductless models.

Ducted Heat Pumps

If your home already has ductwork in place, a ducted ASHP (air source heat pump) can be installed to replace a forced air furnace system. An outside unit is connected to an indoor unit where warm (or cool) air is distributed throughout your home via ducts.

Ductless Heat Pumps

Also known as a ductless mini-split heat pump, this system doesn’t require ductwork to deliver warm or cool air. Instead, a mounted air handler is installed within your home. Multiple interior air handler units can be installed to provide zoned heating and cooling throughout the home. Ductless heat pumps are the best option for homes without existing ductwork.

Benefits of Heat Pumps in Kitchener-Waterloo

There are so many benefits to installing a heat pump in your Kitchener-Waterloo home. 

Energy Efficiency

Heating and cooling your home can be costly. With a gas furnace, your heating bill depends on the price of fuel. A heat pump is so energy efficient that it can save you money on your energy costs. Plus, it reduces your home’s overall carbon footprint. 

All of our heat pumps are ENERGY STAR certified, meaning they have a high SEER rating and use as little energy as possible to keep your home cool.

2-in-1 System that Heats and Cools

You can forgo purchasing an air conditioner when you have a heat pump because it heats and cools your home. This also means less work for you as you don’t have to install your AC unit when the hot weather hits.

We know that, In the Kitchener-Waterloo area, one day might be hot while the next is chilly. A heat pump is valuable here because you can easily switch between heating and cooling with the flip of a switch.

Zoned Heating

Multi room heat pumps can also give you the power to choose your preferred temperature in each room. This means you can customize the temperature in different rooms or zones of your house. This is especially handy if you have a lot of people in your household and everyone likes a different temperature. With this type of heat pump, everyone can be comfortable in whatever temperature they like!

Common Misconceptions About Heat Pumps

There are a lot of misconceptions about heat pumps, and they might be what’s holding you back from having one installed in your home. So, let’s set the record straight by clearing up these myths.

1. They don’t work in the cold.

Truth: While heat pumps work at their peak efficiency in moderate climates, they do still function just fine in colder climates. Heat pumps are a viable home heating system for Kitchener-Waterloo winters.

2. Heat pumps are expensive to operate.

Truth: Heat pumps are so efficient that they can actually save you money on your monthly energy bills. In fact, some heat pumps can save you up to 65% on energy costs compared to electric furnaces.

3. They’re like every other heating system.

Truth: Heat pumps are quite unlike other heating systems. They’re called “heat pumps” but they don’t just heat your home, they can cool it too! Heat pumps are 2-in-1 systems that heat your house when it’s cold and cool your house when it’s hot. That means you don’t have to worry about buying an air conditioner!

4. Heat pumps don’t last as long as furnaces.

Truth: If you keep your heat pump properly maintained and cleaned, it should last a long time. Heat pumps can last for up to 15-20 years, which is longer than some furnaces. The model of the heat pump and how it’s installed affect its lifespan, as well.

5. They’re noisy to run.

Truth: Actually, heat pumps are pretty quiet these days. They used to be on the louder side, but heat pump technology has come a long way. Provided it’s installed properly by a certified HVAC technician, your heat pump should run quietly.
