Heat Pump Water Heaters

Efficient, Reliable Hot Water — and Big Energy Savings

At BnD’s Plumbing, we help homeowners take advantage of the latest in water heating technology with expert installation of heat pump water heaters. If you’re looking for a highly efficient, environmentally friendly way to heat water and lower your energy bills, a heat pump water heater may be the perfect choice for your home.

What Is a Heat Pump Water Heater?

A heat pump water heater is an advanced system that utilizes existing warm air from around the unit to heat the water in its tank reservoir — rather than generating heat directly like a traditional water heater. This process is similar to how a refrigerator or air conditioner works, but in reverse.

These systems use electricity to power the heat pump and a small backup heating element for peak demand, making them up to three times more efficient than conventional electric water heaters. You still get the reliable hot water you need, but with far less energy use and lower utility bills.

Benefits of a Heat Pump Water Heater

By utilizing existing heat in the air, these water heaters use significantly less energy than traditional systems, which constantly generate heat to maintain water temperature. This energy efficiency can significantly lower your electricity bills, which means more savings.
If you are looking for a water heater with a smaller carbon footprint, a heat pump water heater may be the right choice for you. Due to lower energy consumption, heat pump water heaters produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Heat pump water heaters generally have a longer lifespan than many conventional water heaters, providing reliable service for an estimated 10-15 years when properly maintained.
Some utility companies and government programs offer rebates and tax incentives for transitioning to an energy-efficient heat pump water heater, which means you could save even more money by making the switch. Keep in mind that such incentives typically have efficiency standards that the selected unit must meet to qualify.

Considerations to Keep in Mind

Due to heat pump water heaters relying on warm air that is already present around the unit, it is worth noting that these systems do require installation in spaces that maintain a temperature between 40°F and 90°F year-round. They also need sufficient space for air circulation. While these requirements are important to consider, they are rarely a problem given that our plumbers are experts at identifying a suitable locations for installation.

Given the more technologically advanced heating system present in heat pump water heaters, their initial cost compared to conventional systems is higher. This is something to consider when weighing your options, but remember that these systems provide a hefty return in the form of energy cost savings over their lifespan.

Is a Heat Pump System Right for Your Home?
