Potential energy cost savings over the life of a heat pump water heater

Well, ok, maybe you have heard of them. A hybrid water heater is also known as a heat pump water heater, and they are not nearly as famous as standard water heaters or tankless water heaters. Their relative obscurity is unfortunate though, because hybrid water heaters really out-perform their conventional electric counterparts, and are the most energy efficient option for people who so not have access to natural gas or propane.

Heat pump water heaters are not to be confused with heat pump heaters. They are true water heaters and are much more efficient than electric resistance (conventional) water heaters, and are most effective in warm climates with long hot or mild seasons, like Western North Carolina.

The way they work is by transferring energy (heat) from the surrounding air to water in a storage tank. Instead of trying to heat water by applying direct heat, heat pumps use refrigerant to move the heat from one place (the air) to another (the water), the same way that a refrigerator or an air conditioner works, but in reverse.

During times when the demand for hot water is great, heat pumps automatically switch over to using standard electric heat (that’s why they are sometimes called hybrid electric water heaters).

How Much Can Heat Pump Water Heaters Save?

Hybrid water heaters can save a household of four more approximately $470 per year on its electric bills, compared to a standard electric water heater, and more than $4,500 over its lifetime. Larger families—that typically use more hot water—will save even more! While a heat pump water heater costs more upfront, the savings will pay back the difference in about three years for a household of four. Replace your aging electric water heater before it fails and start enjoying the savings right away.

Heat pump water heaters save you money and save the environment. If all the residential electric water heaters in the US were replaced with heat pump water heaters, the national energy cost savings would be $8.2 billion dollars each year, and 98 billion pounds of greenhouse gases would be eliminated from our atmosphere. That is the equivalent of removing 9 million vehicles from the road. What a big impact you can make just by choosing your water heater wisely!

Although hybrid water heaters can be more expensive to install than a conventional water heater, their energy savings over time can greatly off-set that cost. In Asheville heat pump water heaters will typically pay for themselves in just two years. In fact, you can save 50-71% on energy use compared to a standard electric water heater. For a family of four, the lifetime savings can add up to about $3,510 in electricity bills that you won’t have to pay.

What Kind of Water Heater Maintenance Do I Need?

Different type of water heaters need different types of maintenance to help them last as long as possible. Tank types will need to be drained and flushed regularly, especially if you have a lot of sediment. Waiting too long to clean the tank may force a replacement sooner than expected.

Tankless water heaters need to be descaled and cleaned annually. Give us a call at 828-774-7076 and we can schedule an appointment that is convenient for you to get your water heater serviced.

 

How Long Do Water Heaters Last?

The average lifespan of a water heater is between 8-12 years for a conventional water heater model, about 15 years for ultra-high efficiency or heat pump water heaters and 20+ years for tankless water heaters. Water heaters located in garages or crawl spaces, where the temperature drops significantly, have to work harder to heat the water and tend to wear out more quickly. You may want to have your water heater checked out before its an emergency!
