Did you know you can use the same heat pump technology that keeps your home warm in winter to heat your water? Here’s what you need to know about this game-changing technology.
How a Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Works
Unlike traditional tankless water heaters that use resistive heating elements, heat pump water heaters utilize a refrigeration cycle to capture and transfer heat from one location to another. In air-source heat pump water heaters, the refrigerant absorbs heat from ambient air. This heated refrigerant is then compressed, raising its temperature. Finally, the captured heat is then transferred to the water. Ground-source HPWHs extract heat from the earth by following a similar process.
Available Configurations
When it comes to configuration, heat pump water heaters come in different shapes and sizes. A floor-standing heat pump water heater is compact. This makes it ideal for homes with limited space.
Benefits of a Heat Pump Water Heater
Here are three good reasons to make the switch to a heat pump water heater:
They’re energy efficient. By using electricity to move heat instead of burning fossil fuels, HPWHs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone who wants to reduce their carbon footprint and help the environment.
They’re cost-effective. Even considering their higher initial price, heat pump water heaters can be more cost-effective in milder climates than conventional electric storage tank heaters.
They’re quiet. Heat pump water heaters are quieter than traditional water heaters. This is because they don’t have to generate heat directly. If you’re tired of hearing your old water heater rumble and creak, a HPWH might be the right choice.
