How Do Heat Pump Water Heaters Work?

Similar to a heat pump heater for your home, a heat pump water heater (also known as a hybrid electric water heater) uses electricity to move heat from one place to another. A fan pulls air through the upper intake and passes it through a filter. The refrigerant in the heat pump water heater absorbs the heat and is passed through the condenser tubing. The heated air is then transferred to the water in the tank, which is then dispersed to your home as needed. 

Because of the heat pump technology, hybrid heat pump water heaters are best suited for climates that remain between 40º-90ºF, making San Diego the perfect climate to install these types of units. Combine your hybrid heat pump water heater with a solar system for maximum energy efficiency.

Benefits of Heat Pump Water Heaters

There are numerous benefits to making the switch to a heat pump water heater over a standard gas or electric water heater. These benefits include:

  • More Energy-Efficiency. Heat pump water heaters are up to 4x more energy-efficient than a standard electric water heater and up to 5x more energy-efficient than a standard gas tank.
  • Faster Recovery Rate. The recovery time for a hybrid heat pump water is much faster than a standard gas or electric water heater. Because of the dual, electric heating elements, hybrid heat pump water heaters recover in as little as 25 minutes, compared to standard water heaters that can take up to an hour to recover. 
  • Environmentally Friendly. Whether it’s a heat pump water heater or a heat pump HVAC system to heat your home, heat pumps overall are more energy efficient. Because of this efficiency, heat pump water heaters use less electricity and/or natural gas, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions. According to Energy Star, if all homes were installed with Energy Star certified heat pump water heaters, we could prevent nearly 170 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions!
  • Tax Credits & Rebates. For additional savings, there are federal tax incentives and state rebates to make the switch from a conventional gas water heater to a hybrid heat pump water heater. Now, you can save up to 30% of the installation costs (maximum of $2,000 a year) in federal tax credits on top of state rebates which fluctuate depending on what size gallon you install.

A huge shout out to Zach Mendoza and Guthrie & Sons! I called Guthrie yesterday when our heat failed to work. They were able to arrange an appointment for this afternoon. Zach arrived on time, diagnosed the issue and quickly resolved the problem. He is very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and his company.

This review pertains to the process in receiving a quote for a HVAC system for a residential dwelling. We welcomed Anthony A. to discuss the potential renewal of our HVAC system. We were in the phase where one seeks different quotes and gain a better understanding of the various options available. Anthony was articulate, explained the options with the pro’s and con’s of each option. He was very professional and personable in getting to know our needs.We will certainly keep his proposal in consideration when we make our decision.Lastly, the appointment process was seem less and punctual.

I've had an ongoing issue with my HVAC not working properly. Two other professionals came by and said I needed expensive upgrades, without fixing the issue. Zach Mendoza from Guthrie & Sons finally fixed the issue. He was polite, knowledgeable and able to fix the issue within minutes without trying to up-sell me. I have confidence that they can do the job.

The time came for us to replace our 20+ year old AC and heater and the overwhelming search for the right company to hire began. I met with 8 companies and after meeting Vlad I just knew I had found the company to hire. Vlad was professional and honest. He never tried to upsell us and was very thorough in explaining all of our options. He simply explained the pros and cons of each system and left the decision to us. The one thing I learned after doing all of my HVAC research is not to focus on the price although G&S was the very competitive. But instead focus on the company you feel will do the best installation. The way G&S provided a detailed interactive proposal breaking down all the work that will be done really put my mind at ease. We have our install scheduled for next week so that will be the true test. I will be updating this review after the installation is done but I can say that I feel very confident they will go above and beyond to ensure the job is done right!

We decided to get central air conditioning after the last 2 summers. After getting quotes from 3 HVAC companies, we decided on G&S. They installed our heater a couple of years ago and did a great job. This time was no different. They showed up promptly, took care to cover the floors, and got right to work. There were 3 installers; Blake, Adam, and Luke ( I think I got the names right!) They each had a job to do and went about it very professionally and with great attitudes. They finished and cleaned up. It was a great experience. I recommend giving G&S a try when looking for heating or AC.
