a heat pump water heater

Looking at the subject even more two-sided: you took a happy and warm shower when, nice and gently (but still) froze yourself with finishing water! Pretty much everyone, and it isn't a good feeling. Picture lathering up and then the next thing you know an icy blast of water hits your skin! Good news: there is a great solution for this problem — the heat pump water heater.

A heat pump water heater is a unique appliance that uses electricity to warm the water. However, a heat pump water heater does not work the way electric coils are used in a conventional water storage tank. It simply absorbs some of the heat in a room to warm the water. This method is a lot less energy-efficient. Not only will you be conserving energy, but also saving on your electric bill — and who does not want that?

How Heat Pump Water Heaters Work

That's all well and good, but how does a heat pump water heater even work? To put it bluntly: It is a kind of inverting fridge. We often find coils on the back of a refrigerator, which pull heat in order to keep food and drinks cool inside. In a heat pump water heater, however, the coils remove heat from the air and this is passed on to boiling up the water instead.

This makes the coils hot and absorbs heat from the air. This liquid is then pumped through a device called an evaporator, which heats the refrigerant further. Following this, the hot fluid imitates to transfer some of its heat into a water tank. After the fluid pulls heat from home air, it returns to coils outside your house and flows farther warm there once again.
