What’s a Hybrid Water Heater and Why Should I Install One?

Lawmakers in the state of Washington have unveiled plans to ban future fossil fuel usage in new constructions. Families will have to find safer alternatives for major appliances like water heaters. Luckily, you now have the option to install a cost-effective hybrid water heater. Here’s why you should replace your old water heater with a hybrid model.

Hybrid Water Heaters

Hybrid water heaters or heat pump water heaters give you all the efficiency of a tankless heater without sacrificing any tank capacity. This type of water heater works by collecting heat from its external environment and moving it across evaporator coils. The refrigerant inside the coils collects that heat and moves it into the heat exchanger, which then warms your water.

Hybrid water heaters are unique in that they don’t create the heat but instead move it from one area to another. Hybrid heaters are incredibly energy-efficient and can produce luxurious amounts of hot water at a fraction of the cost. You won’t struggle with excessively high electricity or gas bills with a hybrid water heater.

You can also decrease your home’s carbon footprint with this heater. Hybrid water heaters are perfect for families that live in mild to warm climates and have extra space in the basement. Professional plumbers can evaluate your current water heater and find a new hybrid model that would better suit your comfort and budgetary needs.
