When it’s time to replace your hot water heater, consider modernizing to an electric heat pump water heater.

What is a heat pump water heater? Heat pump water heaters use heat pump technology to extract heat from the air and move it into the tank. As a result, heat pump water heaters are typically 3 times more efficient than electric resistance water heaters.  

There are several key benefits to the use of heat pump water heaters:

Energy savings. If you now use an electric resistance water heater, a heat pump water heater will most likely cut your water heating bill by more than half. If you use oil or propane to heat your water, savings will still be significant, and if you use natural gas, there will most likely be some small savings.

Little or no greenhouse gas emissions. Regardless of what fuel source you were previously using, a heat pump water heater will either eliminate the burning of fossil fuels, or will reduce the electricity used.  With CMLP’s electricity, there are no emissions.

Dehumidification. Humidity can be a problem in many basements in Massachusetts. A heat pump water heater will dehumidify whatever space it is in. This reduces the need to run a dehumidifier, saving energy and money.

Remote Monitoring. Some heat pump water heaters have wifi capability built in. You can monitor performance, change temperature, set the unit to vacation mode, or even receive a text alert on your smartphone if there is a problem with the system.

Leak Detection. Some heat pump water heaters have integrated leak detection. They will sound a local alarm and send you a text message if a leak is detected. The best models can not only detect a leak in the water heater itself, but can also help to detect a leak anywhere in the water supply in your home, and can automatically shut off the cold water input to the water heater to help prevent water damage to your home.
