High-Efficiency Heat Pump Water Heater Installation

$900-$4,000 in rebates available which will save you money & can sometimes lower the price to that of a standard water heater. We even fill out all the rebate paperwork for you.

If you’re replacing a natural gas water heater, you can expect to save $180 every year (for a family of four). If you’re switching from electric, the savings are even higher.

Switching to a heat pump system means you immediately reduce the pollution created by burning fossil fuels and reduce the strain on the electric grid.

Hybrid water heaters, also called heat pump water heaters, use electricity to transfer heat from one place to another. These units are a popular choice for homeowners because they provide the following:

Energy Efficiency

Because heat pump water heaters use such a small amount of electricity to heat water in the storage tank, they don’t produce as many carbon dioxide emissions as traditional water heaters do.

They’re very energy-efficient, so a heat pump water heater is an excellent choice for homeowners who care about the environment and want to reduce the pollutants their home puts into the air.

The results are impressive — heat pump water heaters are 2 to 4 times more efficient than traditional models, including both electric and gas-powered water heaters.

Environmental Benefits

So many environmental problems seem large and out of our control. However, switching your water heater is a remarkably easy step you can take. Heating water accounts for 20% of the energy consumed by U.S. households — more than cooking and refrigeration combined.

Because most of the heating in a High Efficiency Hybrid Water Heater is accomplished by the heat pump — without relying solely on natural gas or electricity — these systems can be two to four times more energy efficient than your current standard system.

Switching from a gas-powered system eliminates the pollution caused by burning non-renewable fossil fuels. Switching from an all electric system reduces your daily draw on the power grid, helping to keep it stable and prices in check.

The clean air and climate-change mitigation properties of High Efficiency Hybrid Water Heaters are significant. Every system installed improves the environment today and gets California closer to its goal of carbon neutrality by 2045.

Personal Environment Impact of Installing a Heat Pump Water Heater

Replacing your traditional gas water heater with a high-efficiency heat pump water heater reduces your emissions by 15.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide over the typical life span of a hybrid water heater.

That’s equivalent to:

That’s like planting your very own small forest!

That’s like driving from New York to San Francisco 13 times!

That’s like replacing all the incandescent lightbulbs in the houses on your block!

Tax Rebate Opportunities

High-efficiency hybrids are a better way to heat water for sure, but their sticker price is higher. If installation of a standard tank system costs around $2,000, converting to a hybrid system can cost closer to $6,000.

However, if you have a standard tank-style water heater and you convert to a High Efficiency Hybrid Water Heater, you could qualify for as much as $4,000 in immediate rebates and ongoing energy savings every year.

After applying energy rebates available to California residents, the cost to install a heat pump water heater is about the same as a standard gas water heater. Plus, these units are so efficient that you can save on monthly costs. And, you’ll be doing your part to help the planet!

There’s never been a better time to install an energy-efficient heat pump water heater in your home.

Ongoing Savings

Once installed, a hybrid system operates at a lower cost than a standard system. A Tri-Valley family of 4 that replaces a natural gas water heater can expect to see annual savings of $180.

A family switching from an electric water heater could save up to 2,960 kWh/year. Since Tri-Valley electric rates are higher than the national average, a hybrid system will really decrease your monthly bill!

Since hybrid systems last an average of 10 years, you’ve got a long time to experience those monthly savings on your utility bills.

Bonus: If you have solar power as part of your home’s energy profile, it can be connected to your hybrid water heater. The heat pump plus solar would reduce your monthly utility costs even further.

We install Bradford White and Rheem hybrid water heaters, which are both known for their unmatched quality and longevity. After completing your high-efficiency water heater installation, our technicians clean up and properly recycle your old unit for you.

Note: The Bay Area Air Quality Management District board has voted to ban the sale and installation of gas water heaters for residential use in California, starting in 2027. If you invested in a gas heat pump water installation before then, this change won’t affect you. You can continue to operate your unit and have preventive maintenance or repairs completed as needed.
