silence7Heat-pump water heaters are a winner for the climate — and your wallet
Yes, but water heater tanks are by themselves inefficient as it stores heated water regardless of it being used.
If I ever get a house (millennial lol) I’d want to have a tankless water heater. That way supply meets demand exactly.
I will add my 2 cents…
I hate tankless wather heaters. Every single one I’ve used was shit. It super hard to get the right temperature of water. Turn the heat up a bit: the gas burner goes to 11 and burning water goes out. Turn it a bit down: the gas stops completely and now cold water comes out. For some reason the also take lots of time to actually heat up so you’re wasting a lot of water. I’m sure you can buy a nice, new one that will work better but in my experience after some time they all turn to shit.
You don’t have those issues with a tank. My heat pump is set up to heat the water during 1 hour in the night and that’s enough for the rest of the day. Super simple, efficient and cheap.
