Heating & Cooling
Forced Air Heat
Natural Gas Heating
Central A/C, Ceiling Fan(s)
Electric Cooling

------------

How can one system use both gas and electric? Is the information correct?

Thanks.

Sometimes you must step away from the internet and actually talk on the phone to a live person.

Call the agent, ask them.

This sounds like a gas furnace and an electric air conditioner to me so I would guess a heat pump with a gas furnace backup.

This is actually a common configuration in many parts of the country. A gas furnace with force air heat and an electric AC (electric cooling), commonly called a split system. I have that exact configuration in my house.

The Ceiling Fans are separate.

Sounds perfectly reasonable. It's a configuration you'll find in much of the Southwest, where electricity is much more expensive than NG.

I also had a house with central heat in the main part. But the finished attic that didn't have ducts had electric heat, so it's possible something weird-ish like that is going on. But, yeah, the suggestions above seem more likely.

This is an incredibly common setup here in the northeast. As all A/C does, your cooling uses electricity. Your heating system uses either natural gas, propane, or oil. Electric heat is pretty rare around here because it tends to be more expensive than n-gas/propane/oil.
