Is a Heat Pump Water Heater Right for You?
Heat pump water heaters pull warmth from the air and transfer the heat into the water stored in the tank. Hot water is ready to use while cool, dry air is vented out. Consider this if the unit is being installed inside the home. A more ideal location is a garage, basement, or other unconditioned space.
Most units require space around the water heater to allow effective air flow, but each manufacturer will have specific minimum requirements so please refer to manufacturer instructions.
Heat pump water heaters have compressors and fans that run three to four hours each day with noise levels similar to that of a microwave.
Heat pump water heaters have a filter that prevents dirt and dust from accumulating in the unit. To ensure efficient operation, thus the unit’s filter must be accessible for routine cleaning.
