Water heating is one of the largest energy uses in a home. Heat pump water heaters offer a dramatically more efficient option that supports both lower bills and electrification goals.
How They Work
Instead of generating heat directly, a heat pump water heater moves heat from the surrounding air into the water tank. This makes it two to three times more efficient than a standard electric water heater.
Placement and Considerations
These units perform best in spaces with adequate air volume and moderate temperatures, such as a basement or mechanical room. Proper placement ensures efficiency and quiet operation.
Impact on Your Rating
Because water heating is modeled in the HERS analysis, switching to a heat pump water heater can meaningfully improve your score and may increase available incentives.
