How Do Heat Pump Water Heaters Work?

Similar to a heat pump heater for your home, a heat pump water heater (also known as a hybrid electric water heater) uses electricity to move heat from one place to another. A fan pulls air through the upper intake and passes it through a filter. The refrigerant in the heat pump water heater absorbs the heat and is passed through the condenser tubing. The heated air is then transferred to the water in the tank, which is then dispersed to your home as needed. 

Because of the heat pump technology, hybrid heat pump water heaters are best suited for climates that remain between 40º-90ºF, making San Diego the perfect climate to install these types of units. Combine your hybrid heat pump water heater with a solar system for maximum energy efficiency.

Benefits of Heat Pump Water Heaters

There are numerous benefits to making the switch to a heat pump water heater over a standard gas or electric water heater. These benefits include:

  • More Energy-Efficiency. Heat pump water heaters are up to 4x more energy-efficient than a standard electric water heater and up to 5x more energy-efficient than a standard gas tank.
  • Faster Recovery Rate. The recovery time for a hybrid heat pump water is much faster than a standard gas or electric water heater. Because of the dual, electric heating elements, hybrid heat pump water heaters recover in as little as 25 minutes, compared to standard water heaters that can take up to an hour to recover. 
  • Environmentally Friendly. Whether it’s a heat pump water heater or a heat pump HVAC system to heat your home, heat pumps overall are more energy efficient. Because of this efficiency, heat pump water heaters use less electricity and/or natural gas, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions. According to Energy Star, if all homes were installed with Energy Star certified heat pump water heaters, we could prevent nearly 170 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions!
  • Tax Credits & Rebates. For additional savings, there are federal tax incentives and state rebates to make the switch from a conventional gas water heater to a hybrid heat pump water heater. Now, you can save up to 30% of the installation costs (maximum of $2,000 a year) in federal tax credits on top of state rebates which fluctuate depending on what size gallon you install.

Everyone at Guthrie and Sons has been incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive to our HVAC needs. They replaced our ineffective, old HVAC system, and ductwork with a completely new, more efficient system in one day, and left everything in our home virtually spotless. And when there was an electrical issue regarding our home’s wiring, which had nothing to do with them, Rich came out the next day, diagnosed the problem, and got our unit back up and running. Excellent customer service as well.

Knowledgeable and helpful. Wanted a mini-split air conditioning system for our home and Anthony understood why and had good suggestions for the correct size of the units required. A plus was they offered 12 months at 0% financing upon approval.
