What is a hybrid heat pump water heater, and what are its advantages?
A hybrid heat pump water heater integrates a conventional electric water heater with an air source heat pump. It uses minimal electricity to move heat from one place to another. Benefits include high efficiency, easy installation, and being 2 to 3 times more energy-efficient than electric conventional tanks.
Can a hybrid heat pump be used for both space heating and domestic hot water?
Yes, a hybrid heat pump can serve both purposes, providing space heating and domestic hot water, making it a versatile and energy-efficient choice.
How do I determine the right size for my hybrid heat pump water heater?
To recommend the appropriate unit, we will ask you questions about the size of the tank, the size of the mechanical room, and may request photos of the mechanical room to ensure proper clearance.
What is the installation process for a new hybrid heat pump water heater?
Our installation process includes disconnecting water pipes and electrical wires as needed, draining the old heater, removing it, cleaning the mechanical room, modifying water pipes, upgrading the electrical cable, and installing the new tank. We commission the new storage tank and provide maintenance tips. We offer a 1-year warranty on the labor for the newly installed tank.
Are there any maintenance requirements for a hybrid heat pump water heater?
Yes, regular maintenance is important. Annually, you should check the operation of the compressor, inspect the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, check for refrigerant leaks, and examine the condition of electrical wiring to ensure efficient and safe operation.
