Hybrid boilers are the future of energy-efficient and sustainable heating. They combine conventional boilers that run on natural gas or hydrogen with an electric auxiliary heating system that ideally uses green electricity. This article explains why hybrid boilers are the heating systems of the future, what advantages they offer and what technologies are required. Particularly relevant for companies and consumers who value security of supply and environmental friendliness.
What is a hybrid boiler and how does it work?
A hybrid boiler combines two energy sources: a conventional fuel boiler and an electric auxiliary heating system. While the fuel boiler uses fossil fuels such as natural gas or hydrogen, the electrical component can be powered by renewable electricity. This combination creates a flexible heating system that utilises the most efficient and environmentally friendly energy source as required.
