Heat Pumps

Heat pumps work by removing heat from the ambient air to warm water. Heat pumps attract RECs and government rebates because they have significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to electric hot water systems.

Heat pumps are one of the most efficient hot water systems and they are a more environmentally friendly alternative to straight gas and electric storage systems. Heat pumps are usually located at ground level and are approximately the same size as conventional hot water tanks. Like solar, some heat pumps use an electric booster to supply adequate hot water during periods of very cold weather.
