Heat Pump Water Heater Rebates

hpwh_imageHeat pump water heaters use integrated heat pump technology to move heat from the air to your hot water supply. This technology is two-to-three times more efficient than conventional water heaters.    

Heat pump water heaters can be installed in a variety of locations, including garages, utility rooms or basements.   Systems where the heat pump is integrated or stacked on top of the water tank are most common, but split systems are also an option.  Please consider the following when determining whether an integrated heat pump water heater is right for you:

Sound.  Heat pump water heaters generate sounds similar to the background noise from a portable fan (around 45 decibels).

Cool air.  While in operation, heat pump water heaters release cool, dry air into the surrounding space.  Ducting can be used to exhaust the air outside.  

Space.  Heat pump water heaters typically need around 1,000 cubic feet (10’x10’x10’) of airflow around them to operate properly.  Some manufacturers may require less airflow and units can be installed in smaller areas if ducting or other airflow strategies are used.  

Size/height.  Heat pump water heaters may be slightly larger than standard water heaters (60 inches tall or more).  Also, some units may be required by the manufacturer to have additional top clearance.

Condensate. Heat pump water heaters can release condensate. It is important to drain any condensate via a sloped drainage system, a condensate pump, or connection to a plumbing drain.
