Another Option is a Heat Pump Water Heater If you are considering a more efficient way to heat your water, save energy and be eco-friendly than a heat pump water heater might be the right choice for you. Often considered better than a gas or electric for several reasons:
- Energy efficiency - Heat pump water heaters are generally more energy efficient. They use electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat water, rather than generating heat directly. This can make them up to 2-3 times more efficient than traditional electric water heaters.
- Lower operating costs: Because of their higher efficiency, heat pump water heaters often have lower operating costs compared to electric resistance water heaters. They can also be cheaper to operate than a gas water heater depending on energy prices.
- Environmental impact - Heat pump water heaters typically have a smaller carbon footprint than a gas water heater because they use less electricity and don’t burn fossil fuels. They can be a significant advantage if your electricity comes from renewable sources.
- Cost savings over time - While heat pump water heaters have a higher up-front cost, their efficiency leads to lower energy bills, which can result in cost savings over time.
- Best overall value with tax credit and rebates, while heat pump water heaters might have a higher initial cost, their efficiency and environmental benefits make them a strong choice compared to gas or electric water heaters when you can get up to a $2,000 tax credit and huge rebates.

Rheem Hybrid Heat Pump - How Does It Work?
- Air is pulled and passes through a filter on the top of the water heater
- Heat in the air is absorbed by refrigerant inside the evaporative coil
- The refrigerant is pumped by a compressor that increases the temperature of the refrigerant on it's way to the condenser
- The refrigerant travels through the condenser tubing that is coiled around the tank and transfers the heat to the water
- Cold air and condensation are expelled through this process
- All functions are controlled simultaneously by the Advanced control Panel and there are 5 operation modes
