Choosing a new water heater for your home is definitely not the type of decision that you can afford to rush into. You may only be familiar with traditional tank water heaters, but we recommend that you expand your horizons a bit before investing in a new system. You may find that there is a better fit for your needs and user preferences that you were not even aware of.
Heat pump water heaters in Darien, CT are becoming more and more common, and it is easy to understand why. When you use a heat pump water heater, you can really cut down on how much energy you use in order to heat water in your home. That is because you can exploit the heat transfer principle.
How Does It Work?
Air source heat pumps are a type of HVAC system that transferd existing heat in order to warm homes. Heat is drawn out of the air outside, even when it is very cold out, via the evaporation of refrigerant. That refrigerant is compressed, and is then condensed in the house. Its heat is used to heat air for distribution throughout the living space. A heat pump water heater works according to the same principles, but uses the existing heat to heat water rather than air.
No fuel is consumed when transferring existing heat into the water in a hot water tank, and only a very small amount of electricity is used in the process. That is why the heat pump water heater is able to operate with such incredible efficiency. If you are serious about cutting down on energy costs in your home, investing in a heat pump water heater is definitely a good way in which to do so.
