A Hybrid Water Heater, also known as a Heat Pump Water Heater, combines everything we love about a standard water heater with the benefit of an energy-efficient heat pump. A hybrid water heater works like a refrigerator but in reverse. While a refrigerator removes heat from an enclosed box and releases it to the surrounding air, a hybrid water heater capturers the heat from the surrounding air and then transfers it to the water in an enclosed tank. It then blows out the cooler air. Since it moves heat from one place to another rather than generating heat directly, it is a more efficient way to heat water.
A Heat Pump is an energy-efficient alternative to other types of home heating systems, such as a natural gas furnace or electric baseboards. Heat Pumps are powered by electricity and transfer heat using refrigerants. Heat pump water heaters use heat from outside air drawn into the appliance’s evaporator coil. The evaporator coil contains refrigerants, allowing it to absorb heat from the air. Finally, a heat exchanger heats water within the tank to the desired temperature before it passes from the heater tank into your home’s showers, faucets, and large appliances.
Hybrid water heaters are a good option for homeowners looking to reduce their water heating bills. Here are some benefits of installing a hybrid water heater:
There are a lot of differences between tankless water heaters and hybrids, from installation and operating costs to energy efficiency, but it can be difficult to make a decision about what type of water heater to have installed. Here are the various ways hybrid water heaters differ from gas and tankless:
Tankless water heaters use less space and can be installed almost everywhere in your home. This makes them a perfect solution for installation in small spaces, such as studio apartments. Hybrid water heaters store water in a tank and should be installed in a space area that is climate controlled.
Ease of Installation A hybrid water heater is easier to install unlike gas and tankless water heaters that require more intricate plumbing work.
Since a hybrid water heater stores hot water in a tank, as soon as you open the faucet, the water flows instantly. On the other hand, a tankless heater does not have a hot water reservoir; therefore it has a 3-8 second delay to heat water.
Hybrid water heaters are electrically powered and won’t work well with propane or natural gas. Tankless water heaters can either be powered by propane, natural gas, or electricity.
Both tankless and hybrid water heaters are energy efficient but their mechanism of energy efficiency differ.
At Discount Plumbing Rooter Inc., we strongly recommend Rheem when it comes to hybrid water heaters. Rheem is one of the most popular brands of water heaters throughout the United States. The company has an impressive line of products, so you can find a good model no matter the size of your household or business. The Rheem Hybrid Electric Water Heater can be up to four times more efficient than a standard electric water heater. The unit comes with a water leak detection system and an automatic shut-off valve. It allows you to use your smartphone to control the water heater settings, monitor your energy consumption, and ensure there is enough hot water before you take a shower.
A hybrid water heater uses a proven energy-efficient technology to heat water for residential use. Switching to an electric hybrid water heater can reduce your electric water heating costs by up to 60%.
We recommend hiring the professional techs at Discount Plumbing Rooter Inc. to handle all your hybrid water heater needs, especially the installation process.
Electric hybrid water heaters are a bit larger than standard electric water heaters. The size varies depending on manufacturer and capacity.
They can go anywhere, but since they cool the space they are in, it is best if they are in a garage or basement or large utility room that doesn’t need to stay warm.
Many brands make heat pump models, but the highest energy efficiency rated models according to this website – EnergyStar.gov – are the models from Rheem and AO Smith. In late 2022, Rheem announced a first-to-market fully electric Heat Pump Water Heater that needs only a 120 volt outlet. This new 120v Rheem heater is an excellent product because most other heaters require a 220 volt outlet, which means most homeowners will need an electrician to convert the outlet before the heater can be installed.
