Heat Pump Water Heater Day

What is a Heat Pump Water Heater?
Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into a storage tank, making them two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric water heaters. They function like a refrigerator in reverse, transferring heat instead of generating it directly. Heat pump water heaters are best suited for spaces that stay between 40º–90ºF and provide ample air circulation. They work efficiently in warm climates or areas with excess heat, such as furnace rooms.
While they come with higher upfront costs, heat pump water heaters offer lower operating expenses, which can offset the initial investment. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for optimizing their energy efficiency, and it’s best to hire a qualified professional for the job. Additionally, energy-saving strategies can further reduce water heating costs once the system is in place.
What happens today?
On Heat Pump Water Heater Day, the Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI) has organized a full-day event dedicated to advancing the adoption of Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH).
