How do hybrid electric heat pump tank water heaters work?

Hybrid electric heat pump tank water heaters are built to be the most efficient tank water heater on the market. Engineered to utilize your home’s electricity along with heat pump technology, the A. O. Smith line of hybrid heat pumps provide up to a 3.45Uniform Energy Factor (UEF)评级,which conserves energy and isENERGY STAR®qualified.

A fan at the top of the hybrid electric heat pump tank water heater pulls air from the surrounding space through an evaporator. Refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant runs through a compressor, which raises the temperature and pressure. Finally, the heated refrigerant is passed through the condenser coil around the tank and transfers the heat to the water. So, rather than using only the electricity in your home to heat the water, A. O. Smith hybrid heat pump water heaters utilize heat within your home to heat the water in your tank.

With A. O. Smith hybrid electric heat pump technology, you can save energy costs within your home. The heat pump uses heat available in your home to minimize operating costs, which can save you hundreds of dollars annually compared to a standard tank electric water heater.

A. O. Smith hybrid electric heat pump water heaters are built with an innovative anode to make sure your water can continue heating within your home quickly and efficiently. A. O. Smith also offers models with 6- to 10-year limited warranty options.
