The Ge Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater Will Cut Your Heating Bills by Half

The new Ge Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater is a composition of a heat pump and an electric tank water heater. The electric elements in the tank merely serve as a backup for times when the examine for hot water is high.

A heat pump is a highly efficient, eco cordial device that can be used in both space heating and water heating. It heats water by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring the heat to water in a tank. It does not originate heat but naturally moves the heat from the air to the water. A heat pump can even control effectively when the air climatic characteristic is as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

It works like a refrigerator or air conditioner in reverse. A fan pulls ambient air over evaporator coils, where the heat from the air is transferred to a refrigerant. The heated refrigerant is then pumped through a compressor. Compression of the refrigerant intensifies the heat, causing the refrigerant to vaporize. The superheated vapour then passes through copper condenser coils that wrap nearby the inside of the tank. As the hot vapour circulates through the coils its heat is transferred to the water.

The Ge Hybrid water heater operates at a 200% efficiency level, which makes it more than twice as sufficient as a acceptable electric tank water heater. In practical terms, it will cut your water heating bills by half.

This heat pump water heater is designed to be an easy change for your old electric water heater. It has the same diameter, but is a minuscule higher because of the heat pump at the top. It also uses the same electrical and plumbing connections as your existing unit. precisely the heat pump itself uses very minuscule electricity. Electricity is only used when the backup heating elements are activated.

The electronic controls are very sophisticated. With these controls you can precisely set the water climatic characteristic that you desire as well as control the heating mode of the heating elements.

There is a "vacation mode" that allows you to sacrifice the power usage of the unit while you are gone, by turning off the heating elements. You can use the "high examine mode" to start the heating elements when you need enough hot water for a large group of overnight guests. There is also a "lower power mode" that reduces your power costs by not utilizing the full heating capacity of the electric elements.

The Ge Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater can even concentrate with a smart grid. When fitted with a radio receiver it will receive signals from your local utility. These signals will tell the unit when periods of high electricity examine are in succeed and will allow the unit to go into the "vacation mode" or the "lower power mode".
