Hybrid Water Heater Installations: The Best of Both Worlds

Not ready to go fully electric or solar just yet? Cala Systems also installs hybrid water heater systems that intelligently switch between electric and heat pump modes to optimize energy use and recovery times.

How Hybrid Systems Work With Seasonal Needs

Westford winters can be brutal. A hybrid water heater automatically senses when heat pump performance drops on extra-cold days and boosts output using secondary electric resistance only when needed.

This ensures:

Quick recovery time during high demand
High efficiency during normal conditions
Lower long-term operating costs vs. full-electric

Quiet Performance, Ideal for Basements

Environmentally and Financially Smarter

Hybrid systems are a great HPWH over gas or electric resistance alternative, helping residents achieve carbon reduction goals while saving thousands in operational costs over the system’s lifespan.

“Choosing a hybrid system gave us peace of mind for cold-weather performance, and the cost savings have already paid off faster than expected.” — Engineering Manager, Westford Technology Park Area

What Local Homeowners Are Saying

See how SumZero has helped local homeowners stay comfortable year-round with energy-efficient heat pump solutions.

UPDATE: It's been about 3 months since my new heat pump and gas furnace were installed and things have been humming along, moving seamlessly from cooling to heating. When the temps dropped close to 20 a couple of weeks ago though, the heat pump began to work a little harder and longer at squeezing heat from the frigid air (as we knew it would). So I looked to boost the BTU's by firing up the furnace. Though the blower came on, there was no gas, no flame. A check of the gas line valve and the circuit breaker all looked good. Working different modes on the thermostat I tried multiple times, but the furnace remained cold. I gave SumZero customer support a call first thing Monday morning and got voicemail. Though the message proclaimed my "call was important," my heart sank a little wondering WHEN I would hear back. But Lara cheerfully got back to me within the hour and said she would have a technician by the name of Dan Jameson out to the house between 1:00 and 3:00. Dan arrived a little before 2:30 with the same sunny disposition that seems to be part of the culture at SumZero. He invited me to shadow him and learn a little bit more about my HVAC system while he checked it out. He quickly discovered that an internal gas valve was in the off position, something town inspectors like to see when heating is not required (though it really isn't necessary). Needless to say, the furnace began working like a champ. Dan also took time to check the filter, the heat pump, and program the thermostat, all the while answering my questions and giving me valuable pointers as well. Now when the weather drops below freezing, the heating automatically kicks over to the gas furnace. Should any other questions come up, Dan made a point of saying to be sure to call and, if need be, they'd be happy to come out to the house to explain. Once again, everything is working as it should. And SumZero rocks! Though you try to get some idea of who you are hiring through online reviews and asking the right questions (if you even know what questions to ask), a lot of blind trust goes into choosing a contractor - trust that you'll get what was agreed to, on time, in working order, and at the right price. I'm happy to say that SumZero checks all the boxes - and then some. From sales rep Paul Jameson to Sarai and Lara in the office, to Wanderson and his installation team led by Paulo, ALL were professional, knowledgeable, super polite, and patient - exemplars of what customer service used to be. I am very, very happy with my whole house heat pump and additional duct work that was extended into a recent addition. An added bonus is that they will help with the submission of paperwork for the Mass Save rebate. For family and friends contemplating similar work in their homes, I'll definitely point them SumZero's way. Well done!

This guys showed up as promised and the job was done on a timely manner. I highly recomend this company ...

Pr. Alex Dias

When I discovered that my existing system had failed and was not worth repairing, I thought I was about to enter a nightmare scenario. Fortunately, I have a great relationship with Handyman.com of MetroWest and Cental Mass who strongly recommended SumZero Energy Systems to me. I'm grateful to Handyman.com for the recommendation. SumZero is a great company because of the top-of-the-line equipment they sell and more importantly the great people that are the company. Whether you are talking to Sarai on the phone, meeting with David in person, getting service from the technicians, or admiring the professionalism of the Installation Experts and working directly with your Project Manager you'll realize as I did that it's the people in the company that make it a great company. So, it wasn't a nightmare after all. I'm living "The Dream" with new Cental Air and an additional supplemental Mitsubishi wall mounted Split Unit for the Second Floor. My home is an old house, so it needed a custom installation with expert planning. I could not be any happier. I'm actually kind of happy the old system failed because what I have now is Ten Times better than what I had originally. And the new systems are more affordable than the original. All's well that ends well. Thank you SumZero.
