Consumers can benefit from lower costs and the ability to spread out investments in efficiency measures of building shells when installing hybrid heating systems compared to alternatives, while maintaining comfort levels.

The energy system can benefit from reduced peak power demand and thus reduced immediate need for investments in grid reinforcement compared to all-electric alternatives. With the ability to switch between gas and electricity adding further flexibility, system resilience is also increased. The continued use of existing gas infrastructure avoids the more expensive rollout of new district heating systems where applicable.

The climate can benefit since hybrid heating systems reduce carbon emissions because of the efficiency and smart use of heat pumps. Hybrid heating systems also fit a net-zero energy system by using green electricity when available and biomethane or hydrogen when it is not.
