Join Matt Risinger as we welcome PERC, the Propane Education & Research Council for an awesome Webinar discussion on Design and build energy efficient and cost-effective residential heating systems utilizing hybrid solutions and smart controls. When designing and building residential homes, pros should choose efficient and sustainable solutions for critical home systems, including home heating. Selecting energy sources that ensure resiliency is imperative for builders and homeowners alike. Propane works in partnership with the electric grid and renewable energies to provide reliable, safe and clean energy. Hybrid heating solutions discussions will include hydronic heat pumps, boilers, traditional air conditioner/furnace combinations. Smart controls discussions will include integrated thermostat and tank monitoring software.

Key Takeaways
* Recognize heat pump performance curves, including when heating systems need additional input/back-up from electric heat strips or hybrid partners and challenges to pure electric installations.
* Identify ways to hybridize by utilizing traditional dual fuel heat pump furnaces, hydronic heat pump solutions, and boiler solutions while addressing retrofitting heating oil conversions.
* Integrate technologies such as smart thermostats, automated systems, modeling programs and discuss design considerations for emissions, efficiency, and economics, which vary by geographic location.
* Discover how hybrid systems work together to optimize grid relief, including generator sizing, avoiding infrastructure upgrades, and addressing economic viability.
