Replacing a water heater isn’t something many homeowners have to think about…until they do!
Perhaps you’ve walked into the garage and noticed a pool of water gathered around your water heater, or you’ve had multiple days with seemingly no hot water in the shower. Whatever the case, if it is time to replace your water heater here in North or South Carolina, there are a multitude of reasons to switch to a heat pump water heater with the help of our experts at Energy Sabal.
What Differentiates Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters?
In fossil fuel-fueled water heaters, heat is produced through combustion. The heat then is transferred, or exchanged to the water in the hot water tank. Other more traditional water heaters use an electric heating element inside the storage tank that turns off when the water reaches the specified temperature.
With heat pump water heaters, heat is recycled rather than produced. The ambient air around the heat pump water heater is drawn out and sent to a heat exchanger, where it is converted to water in the tank, much like in mini split heat pump home comfort systems.
Heat pump water heaters are now two to three times more efficient than conventional water heating techniques thanks to this mechanism, which also eliminates the need to use fossil fuels like natural gas.
The Benefits of Heat Pump Water Heaters
This efficient and good type of water heater will do much more than just keep your showers hot. When you switch out your old water heater for a heat pump water heater, you can expect:
- More authority over the temperature of your water
- Reduced energy costs
- Defense against growing natural gas costs
- Extended lifespan and guarantee
- You will be one step closer to “decarbonization” and an all-electric home
It is good to know that energy-saving heat pump water heater can save you up to 10%, on your bills throughout its lifespan. Thus, because the water that emerges from your showerhead and faucets is consistently hot, so why not use an all-electric water heater that will ultimately save you money?
