Hot Water Electric Heat Pump

A fan at the top of the hybrid electric heat pump tank water heater pulls air from the surrounding space through an evaporator.

Hot water electric heat pump.

We have continued to innovate in the category adding a touch screen control developing the most efficient water heater on earth and finding new ways to save you money. Refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant runs through a compressor which raises the temperature and pressure. Please see the heat pump water heater factsheet pdf 69 kb that explains the savings opportunity.

Hybrid we were proud to introduce the first hybrid electric heat pump water heater to the market in 2009 but we didn t stop there. For water heating you can add a desuperheater to a geothermal heat pump system. Almost 10 000 savings are far more than enough to repay any price difference between an average hot water system and an efficient one. Discover how hybrid electric heat pump water heaters work and how they help you save energy and money.

Heat pump water heaters are sometimes called hybrid water. It s more than three times as efficient as a standard electric water heater easy to install and simple to operate. They absorb the heat from the surrounding air and use it to heat your water. Therefore these systems are also referred to as air source heat pumps.

These systems are more efficient than conventional water heaters despite operating using electricity. A desuperheater is a small auxiliary heat exchanger that uses superheated gases from the heat pump s compressor to heat water. This hot water then circulates through a pipe to the home s storage water heater tank. Smith voltex hybrid electric heat pump water heater more than lives up to its impressive reputation.

A heat pump uses renewable energy to heat your water without the need for solar panels. Efficiency economy maximizes energy efficiency and savings by only using the heat pump to heat water auto hybrid the default setting is ideal for daily use providing energy efficient water heating with sustained heat electric heater this high demand setting is the least energy efficient using only the electric element to heat water. Heat pump technology is the most efficient technology in the market and the geospring hybrid electric water heater exceeds current energy star requirements like most residential electric water heaters the geospring hybrid electric water heater requires 240v 30amp electrical power to operate.
