Decarbonization Technology Snapshot: Heat Pump Water Heaters

Research output: NRELFact Sheet

Abstract

Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. In many cases they replace gas-fired water heaters and are significantly more energy efficient, reducing on-site Scope 1 emissions and often resulting in reduced total emissions.
