What Is a Heat Pump Water Heater?

Typically, a heat pump is used for cooling or heating a home. It actually uses refrigeration to transfer heat. A liquid or chemical blend can be used to absorb heat and move it into or out of a space.

A heat pump water heater takes advantage of the versatility of this technology. It can absorb heat from around the outside of the water heater. Heat is then transferred into a heat exchanger within the tank, which keeps the water warm.

Other tank water heaters use more conventional means of heating water. A water heater that uses gas or any other fuel source must light a flame on a burner in order to start heating the tank from the bottom up. Electric water heaters usually use electric resistance heating. This requires a lot of energy use as generating or producing heat is such an intensive process. A heat pump water heater also uses electricity, but it uses it in a much different way. Moving heat is a more efficient process then generating heat; it requires much less energy.

Why Choose a Heat Pump Water Heater

What all of this means is that choosing a heat pump water heater over a conventional electric tank water heater can help you save a lot of money. Over the years, your savings can offset the initial price of the unit and installation service.

As a matter of fact, if you require an electric water heater to be 55 gallons or more because you have a larger household, you may not be able to find a conventional electric tank water heater to fit your needs – they simply cannot meet federal efficiency requirements. Thankfully, a heat pump water heater can. For some people, the heat pump water heater is the only option—but luckily, it’s an excellent one!
