Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWHs) – also referred to as hybrid hot water heaters or electric heat pump water heaters – are the most energy-efficient water heaters on the market. Like heat pumps, HPWHs efficiently transfer heat instead of creating it, which leads to hundreds of dollars per year in savings for the average household.
Why?
Heat pump water heaters are 3 to 4 times more efficient than traditional water heaters and work in all climates!
When?
When your current water heater is around 10 years old to avoid an emergency replacement.
