Electric Heat-Pump Water Heaters

Water heaters are typically the second-highest source of energy use in residential homes, behind heating and cooling systems. Water heaters with new energy-efficient heat pump technology are a highly efficient way to heat water, offering a reduction in energy usage and utility bill savings when compared to electric resistance water heaters.

BENEFITS OF HEAT-PUMPS

  • Save Energy:
    In comparison to their standard electric counterparts, electric heat pump water heaters can be three times more efficient. They are also more efficient than gas water heaters — which suffer energy loss during the venting process and can be three to four times more efficient than traditional gas water heaters.
  • Save Money:
    Energy efficient heat pump water heaters can reduce your overall energy bills by up to 32% annually, and can pay for themselves in less than four years.
  • Health & Safety:
    Heat pump water heaters avoid some hazards present with gas water heaters, such as gas leaks. Additionally, with gas water heaters, poor ventilation can also release toxic carbon monoxide and excess moisture into homes.
  • Environment:
    Gas-powered water heaters emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when used. With increasing amounts of renewable resources, electric-powered heat pump water heaters significantly reduce emissions and pollution.
