The efficiency win
Heat pump units can be two to three times more efficient than conventional electric water heaters. Over the life of the unit, the energy savings often outweigh the higher purchase price.
Where it works best
The unit needs space and a steady source of air, so a garage, basement, or utility room works well. hard water is common, and summer heat and shifting soils put pressure on underground lines In Hurst, the local climate affects how efficiently it runs.
The tradeoffs
