That aside, today’s topic is water heaters. Let’s say you want or need a new one, but quickly have come to realize that there’s more to choose from than the last time around. Today, we’re going to focus on electric hybrid heat pump water heaters which are growing more popular among consumers every day.

Electric Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters

Several years ago, the federal government mandated that electric water heaters with a capacity of 50 gallons or greater be converted to hybrid units. The purpose then and now is energy conservation – and we can tell you from experience that hybrid units have lived up to all the hype.
Electric Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters combine the energy-saving benefits of heat pump technology with electric heating elements, providing an eco-friendly solution for heating water. By utilizing heat from the surrounding air, these innovative water heaters can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Experience the convenience of reliable hot water while contributing to a greener future.

Here are just some of the benefits they offer:

• Perfect for homes without a natural gas or propane supply but need a large storage capacity unit.
• They work like a refrigerator in reverse. Instead of moving warm air out, they bring warm air in and heat it to just the right temperature.
• To accomplish their mission of heating water without the need for electricity, they must be installed in a space with a minimum of 1,000 cubic feet where the ambient air temperature is between 40 -90 degrees F. Anything below or above that range, the heater will convert to electricity.
• Most hybrid systems are equipped with Wi-Fi-enabled smart controls that allow you to schedule peak times for usage or extended downtimes. They also can be synced to a phone app so that if you’re going on vacation, you can tell them when you’re coming home so you’ll have plenty of hot water when you return.
• The expected lifespan of a hybrid water heater is 15 years, so with proper maintenance, you will return and recoup your investment, including installation, in roughly 4 to 7 years. That gives you up to another 7 to 8 years of use and warranty coverage.
