If it’s time for a new water heater, Cool Power LLC recommends a heat pump water heater installation in Ronkonkoma, NY. Traditional water heaters produce heat. A heat pump water heater, on the other hand, transfers it. It gets the heat from the air around it. This approach is much more efficient and saves more money than an on-demand water heater and significantly more than a traditional one.

Traditional water heaters heat water and store it in a tank. A heat pump water heater is the same in that regard. The fundamental difference is how it heats the water and keeps it heated.
You have the choice of either a standard or hybrid system. Standard systems have just the heat pump. They’re incredibly efficient at maintaining water temperature. While efficient at heating the water, they can be slow relative to a standard electric water heater. That can be problematic during periods of high demand. Hybrid systems alleviate that problem with a traditional heating element. The system uses the heat pump most of the time. When the demand for hot water is high, the heating element is used to recover faster.
The sizing for a heat pump water heater is similar to that of a conventional system. The basis for sizing is the number of people in the home. For an average household, you’ll need a 50-60-gallon tank. There are 20-40-gallon tanks for smaller households and 70-120 gallons for larger ones. Another important consideration is the first-hour rating. This is how much hot water the system can provide in the first hour. Hybrid systems will shine here compared to standard heat pump water heaters.
Heat pump water heaters tend to be larger than their traditional tank counterparts. However, they can usually fit in preexisting water heater closets. Sometimes, modifications are necessary. Garage installations are also an option, and there are different form factors. Compact models are available for low-clearance installation sites. Tall models are popular in garages, as they take up less valuable storage space.
Once you know the capacity and form factor you need, you can consider energy efficiency. The industry uses the Uniform Energy Factor to measure water heater efficiency. You can use the UEF value to compare heat pump systems among themselves. You can also use it to compare them to conventional systems and tankless water heaters. That often reveals just how efficient these models are.
The higher the UEF, the lower the operating costs. Models that achieve a high enough UEF get ENERGY STAR certification. That’s a requirement of many rebates and tax credits.
A heat pump water heater can provide you many benefits:
No risk of toxic gases
Rebates and tax credits
Lower water heating costs
Longer equipment lifespan
Smaller household carbon footprint
