Cost savings

  • Operating costs can be up to 50% lower than the operating costs of an electric, oil, or propane water heater.
  • This means a heat pump water heater can reduce annual water heating costs $200-$400 per year or more, depending on how much hot water you use.
  • Heat pump water heaters are robust, and can last much longer than conventional water heaters, with standard warranties for many heat pump water heaters lasting 10 years or more.

Flexibility and function benefits

  • Many heat pump water heaters have Wi-Fi control, automated leak detection, and other integration features that enable you to remotely control and monitor your water heater.
  • Heat pump water heaters provide dehumidification in the spaces in which they are installed (though they typically do not entirely replace dehumidifiers).
  • Heat pump water heaters can be installed in most places that any other hot water tank could be installed, although they may require a few extra inches of clearance and adequate space for air circulation.

Lower pollution

  • Using a heat pump water heater results in lower pollution than using a traditional electric resistance or fossil fuel water heater. Plus, with today’s electric grid getting greener over time, pollution will decrease as time goes on.
  • Heat pump water heaters offer the potential to release zero pollution when paired with solar PV or 100% renewable electricity.
