Heat Pump Water Heater

A more efficient way to heat your water.

Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating their own heat like a traditional electric water heater. Because of this, they can be up to 4 times energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heater, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). To move the heat, heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse.

  • A refrigerator pulls heat from inside the box and transfers into whatever room it is in.
  • An electric heat pump water heater pulls heat from the room and transfers it into the tank at a higher temperature to heat the water.
