Heat Pump Water Heater (Hybrid)

A heat pump water heater moves heat from the surrounding air into the tank instead of generating it directly, using an electric compressor with backup elements.

It is far more efficient than a standard electric tank but needs room air to draw from, a condensate drain, and tolerance for some compressor noise. It also cools and dries the space around it.
