Heat pump water heater (HPWH) systems mine the energy content of air to produce hot water very efficiently (Figure 1). Depending on cold-water and ambient-air temperatures and on patterns of hot water use, heat pump water heaters do the same job as standard electric water heaters using two to three times less electric energy.
