Things to know about Heat pump water heaters

a few Installation Requirements

While the new and highly efficient heat pump water heaters install largely the same as your existing tank unit, there are a few things to check on before any small surprises: 

  • These units have a condensate drain, and will need to drain into your existing utility room drain, or we can easily install a condensate pump.
  • HPWH’s need some breathing room. Since they take heat from the surrounding ambient air, the air in the room needs to circulate. You typically need a room that’s 5×5 sq ft or more. And louvered doors can really help too.
  • These units make a low humming noise, typical to your existing A/C or furnace in the utility room. They are not totally silent.
  • You will most likely need a new electrical circuit run to power the unit if you have a natural gas tank heater. We’ve got you covered!
