My mom's Bryant hybrid let's you enter the price of electricity and gas, then automatically chooses the cheaper of the two. At like 40 degrees N latitude and $0.10/kwh, the heat pump is used about 1% of the time.
Unless you're in a mild winter area, I'd skip the hybrid, and put the price difference into increasing the air conditioner efficiency.
Haha, I wish. 42° N. (but moderated by coast) and $0.35/kwh
…. And even if I could afford solar the first quote says I have unshaded south facing roof to cover only 46% of my current usage
