Hybrid water heaters are a great option for homeowners
1. Hybrid Water Heaters Are A Great Option For Homeowners
By now most people know that traditional storage tank water heaters are inefficient in how they supply
hot water to your home. While they are affordable and reliable, they do cost more to operate than their
more modern and more efficient counterparts. But most of the focus on an alternative has been given
to tankless water heating systems. While this is understandable given the tremendous savings
advantage that these units offer to homeowners, there is another option that has a lot to offer - hybrid
water heaters.
Hybrid water heaters can be viewed as the compromise between traditional storage models and
tankless systems. They offer substantial savings in terms of energy, like a tankless unit, without the high
installation costs associated with tankless systems. Some of these systems were designed to connect like
a traditional electric unit which means the installation is very similar to that of a traditional tank storage
unit.
What makes them a "hybrid" water heater, they combine the best of heat pump water heaters with
benefit of an electric water heater for those climates where a heat pump design just cannot supply
enough hot water. This allows homeowners to benefit from the reduced monthly electricity charges
while having adequate hot water for your daily usage needs. It has been estimated that homeowners
replacing an older (10 years or more) unit with one of these will realize a payback in about 3 years. That
might be a bit optimistic, but it does illustrate just how substantial the savings can be.
Most people understand how storage heating units work. They fill a tank with water and heat it and
reheat it until it is used. The tank has insulation to make the process as efficient as possible, but the
wasted energy that is required to keep the tank contents heated and ready for use adds up
unnecessarily. Every month homeowners are wasting a lot of money and over a ten-year lifetime of a
water heater, it can add up to thousands of dollars.
Water heating units that are designed to use a heat pump will actually pull the heat from the air. This
heat is then processed with a compressor and used to heat the tank contents. This is as close to magic as
you can get in the real world. The drawback to heat pump units is the climates that will supply enough
warm air year-round. For a 100% heat pump system, you will need to live in a very warm climate.
By combining the two technologies, we end up with a super efficient design that has electrical backup to
reap the best of both worlds. So, the next time you are on the market for a new water heating unit, ask
about a hybrid water heater option for your home. They are affordable and offer fantastic savings with
an Energy Star rating in the neighborhood of 2.35 EF. Homeowners can save up to $320 per year
depending on actual usage which will make it pay for itself in just a few years.
