BOOK SERVICEBetween laundry, dishes, and showers, hot water is often a home’s second highest energy cost. Heat pump water heaters are the most efficient type of water heaters, outperforming even tankless water heaters. Heat pump water heaters: Boston-area residents are installing heat pump water heaters because they:
- Cut utility costs. Heat pump water heaters can use up to 70% less electricity than standard electric water heaters, saving energy and potentially lowering your home’s utility bills.
- Can replace any water heater. Replace an oil, gas, propane, or electric water heater with one that runs on electricity alone.
- Provide dehumidification and cooling. When located in the basement, heat pump water heaters dehumidify and cool the air. This is a significant bonus during the summer months.
How Heat Pump Water Heaters Work
Heat pump water heaters can be two to thee times more energy-efficient than conventional water heaters, dramatically reducing your home’s energy consumption while providing reliable hot water.
Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. They work like a refrigerator in reverse, pulling heat from the surrounding air and transferring it at a higher temperature to heat water in a storage tank.
Benefits of Heat Pump Water Heaters
Installing a heat pump water heater benefits you whether you’re a homeowner, a tenant, or a multifamily property owner or manager:
- Low-cost hot water

Best Suited For
Heat pump water heaters work well in many situations, but they’re not for everyone. They’re best suited to be installed in basements or utility rooms. Efficiency drops in closets where there isn’t enough clearance. In any situation with tight space, a tankless water heater may be a better fit for energy efficiency.
