Heat Pump Water Heater Services in King of Prussia & West Chester, PA

If you use an electric water heater, it’s probably the biggest electricity-consumer of any appliance in your house. You might think you don’t have any other options because your home isn’t connected to a gas main.

Heat Pump Water Heater Installation

What makes a heat pump water heater different from a standard electric water heater? Both use storage tanks where a supply of water is kept heated and ready for use, but they’re different in how they send heat into the tank.

An electric water heater uses electrical resistance heating: sending electrical currents through metal coils to make them heat up and transferring this heat into the water in the tank through electrical heating elements. A heat pump water heater doesn’t create heat, however. It moves heat from the air around the tank and then releases it into the water. It does this by using refrigerant. Think of it as an air conditioning system that removes heat from the air around the tank and then exhausts it inside the water heater. This is a more energy-efficient way to heat water because it takes much less electricity to move heat than to generate it.

If you’re unsure if installing a heat pump water heater is the right choice for your home, just consult with us. We’ll guide you to the new unit that meets all your criteria.

FAQs

Some of the frequently asked questions we receive about heat pumps in West Chester and Southeast PA include:

Are there advantages to heat pump water heaters?

Yes. Their design alone guarantees the most energy-efficient way to heat water.

  • Good ROI (return on investment)
  • Greater energy efficiency – A heat pump water heater uses 63% less energy than a standard method of heating water for your home.
  • Improved safety
  • Longer life with maintenance – The average life span is 15 to 20 years, but with maintenance, your heat pump can last longer.
  • Reduces carbon emissions – Heat pumps have a superior energy-to-heat conversion rate.
  • Saves money – Heat pump water heaters are cheaper to run. An average family can save over $330/year.
  • Tax credits – Heat pump water heaters are renewable energy sources and qualify for Pennsylvania and federal tax credits.

Can I install my own heat pump water heater?

No! Energy.gov advises you to work with a reputable, experienced plumbing professional:

  • Ask for references.
  • Inquire about the necessary permits (and verify they will obtain all required documentation) and local building codes.
  • Make sure they have a good rating with your local Better Business Bureau.
  • Request estimates in writing.

Unless you have extensive electrical training, DIY installation can void your unit’s warranty. If there’s property damage or personal injury resulting from a DIY installation, your insurance company can deny coverage.

How does a heat pump water heater work?

Traditional water heaters heat water by generating heat. That takes more time and energy. Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one area to another, making them almost 3 times more efficient.

Some people say heat pump water heaters are “hybrid” water heaters because they automatically switch to standard electric resistance heat during high hot water usage times. You can use your water heater’s control panel to control various settings, including “high demand” or hybrid.
