As your trusted cooperative, we have evaluated this new technology and found it to be the most efficient water heater upgrade available. Plus, after the rebate and tax credit a heat pump water heater could pay for itself in under a year.

Heat pump water heaters are designed to fit into the same locations as standard electric water heaters and are just as durable but there are some differences:

  • They draw heat from the air around them and therefore they must have enough air space to work.
  • They discharge cool air into the space around them.
  • They use a fan to move air which means there is a filter to be cleaned occasionally.
  • They produce condensate which will need to be piped to a drain. It is very important to make sure you follow all manufacturer’s installation instructions to make sure your new water heater performs.

Install a Heat Pump Water Heater and use 50% less energy to heat your water. The amount you spend to heat water each year comes in only second to how much you spend to heat your home.

What is a heat pump water heater?

  • They are an electric water heater that provides high efficiency hot water. Half the cost; same hot water.

How do they work their magic?

  • They draw heat from the air around them to heat the water (like a fridge but in reverse).

How do I qualify?

  • Replace an existing water heater with a qualifying model in an existing home: List of Qualified Heat Pump Water Heaters (PDF)
  • You are not required to use an installer from this list – All guidelines from manufacturers, along with local and state regulations, must be followed and verified to get a rebate
