What Is Heat Pump Water Heater Installation?
A heat pump water heater (hybrid) uses a heat pump to move heat from the air into the water instead of only resistive elements. It uses less electricity than a standard electric tank and can qualify for utility rebates and federal tax credits. In California and Orange County, electrification incentives make heat pump units attractive. They need adequate space (for air flow), electrical supply, and often a condensate drain. We install and permit to code.
