A great water heater can bring many benefits to your home, such as energy efficiency and no wait time to use hot water. But with all the different options, it’s hard to know which one is the best. One of the newer designs, hybrid water heaters, uses a special water pump system that makes them particularly unique. Once installed, you’ll start noticing the benefits right away.

3 Facts About Hybrid Water Heaters

1. More Energy Efficient

A hybrid water heater uses a heat pump and evaporator coil that pulls the air from the surrounding environment to heat the water inside the tank. Because of this, the heater doesn’t have to work nearly as hard, and it also doesn’t have to turn on as often. With this kind of efficiency, you’ll see the savings on your energy bill.

2. Get Hot Water Faster

The strategic use of the water pump allows the tank to maintain hot water after it has been heated. Not only do you use less energy to get hot water, but you also have it readily available. That means you don’t have to fight for the first shower every morning in fear that you’ll run out of hot water. You also don’t have to waste water by turning on the faucet and then waiting for a while for it to get hot.

3. Natural Dehumidifier

Since the water pump uses the surrounding air to heat the water, it naturally acts as a dehumidifier for your basement. This can help manage mold and water damage which are common problems in many basements. You’ll solve two issues at once because using the surrounding air helps naturally dehumidify the area and is more energy efficient for the water heater.
