THE SHORT VERSION
- It works if the space fits. You need a spot that stays roughly 40–90°F, enough air around the unit (450 to 1,200 cubic feet depending on the model, or a louvered door or ducts), a drain for condensate and a suitable circuit.
- It uses about a quarter of the electricity of a standard electric tank. ENERGY STAR’s 240 V models are rated 3.3 to 4.5 UEF, against 0.93 for a typical electric tank. In our heavy-use example at DOE’s 2025 average prices, a typical heat pump model costs about $214 a year to run, against $919 for an electric tank and $384 for a standard gas tank.
- Installed price: $2,500–$5,000 (Home Depot’s published range). The federal 25C tax credit ended for installs after December 31, 2025. State and utility rebates still exist and vary widely.
- The trade-offs: slower recovery (size up, especially from gas), a slightly cooler and drier room, and a hum of roughly 40–60 dBA.
- 120 V plug-in models skip the new 240 V circuit but recover more slowly. ENERGY STAR’s installer guide suggests going two sizes up from a gas tank.
Five checks that decide whether one will work
Most questions about a heat pump water heater are really questions about the room it goes in. If all five checks pass, the install is usually straightforward. If one fails, there is often a fix, at a cost.
| Check | What most models need | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | Stays about 40–90°F year-round (ENERGY STAR). Most compressors stop at 35–37°F and the backup elements take over. | Put a thermometer in the space during the coldest and hottest weeks |
| Air around the unit | 700–1,000 cubic feet of open air for many 240 V models, 1,200 for Rheem’s 120 V plug-in; less with louvers or ducts | Length × width × ceiling height, in feet, minus bulky stored items |
| Somewhere for condensate | A floor drain, laundry sink or condensate pump close by | Look for a drain a short run from the heater |
| Power | A 240 V circuit, usually 30 amps (like a standard electric tank), or a 120 V outlet for plug-in models | Read the breaker label; a gas heater’s spot may have no circuit at all |
| Noise | Published figures run from about 37 to 55 dBA: refrigerator to dehumidifier | Is the space next to a bedroom, office or living room? |

How it makes hot water: a refrigerator in reverse
ENERGY STAR’s description is the clearest: a refrigerator pulls heat out of a box and dumps it into the kitchen, while a heat pump water heater pulls heat out of the room and puts it into a tank of water. It uses electricity to move heat rather than to make it, which is why it needs so much less.
The fan pulls in room air
Air passes through a washable filter and over the evaporator coil, where very cold refrigerant absorbs its heat and boils into a gas.
The compressor squeezes the refrigerant
Compressing the gas makes it much hotter.
A coil around the tank heats the water
The hot refrigerant runs through a condenser coil wrapped around the outside of the steel tank, inside the insulation, and gives its heat to the water. As it cools it turns back into a liquid.
The loop starts again
An expansion valve drops the refrigerant’s pressure so it is cold again, and it returns to the evaporator. The air leaving the top of the unit is cooler and drier than the air that went in.
Underneath, it is still a storage tank with the usual cold inlet, hot outlet, temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve and drain valve. Most models add two electric elements as backup, hence the name hybrid. A few are split systems, with the heat pump outdoors (more below).
UEF (uniform energy factor) is DOE’s efficiency rating: in the lab test, a UEF of 3.88 means about 3.88 units of heat went into the water per unit of electricity. Sources: Rheem spec sheets; ENERGY STAR data. DOE’s more conservative figure is two to three times the efficiency of a standard electric heater.
Operating modes: hybrid is the everyday setting
Every model lets you switch modes from a panel or app. Names differ by brand. ENERGY STAR says manufacturers recommend hybrid as the default.
| Mode | What heats the water | Use it when | Rheem’s name |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat pump only | Heat pump only | Light demand; lowest bill, slowest recovery | Heat Pump |
| Hybrid | Heat pump first, elements when demand outruns it | Every day; the usual default | Energy Saver |
| High demand | Heat pump and elements together, elements come on sooner | Guests, a big soaking tub, laundry day | High Demand |
| Electric / Heater | Elements only, like a standard electric tank | Service, or a room too cold for the heat pump. Least efficient. | Electric |
| Vacation | Holds the water at a low temperature | You are away. Rheem holds 65°F for 2–28 days. | Vacation/Away |
Sources: ENERGY STAR, “How it works” (its names: Efficiency/Economy, Auto/Hybrid, Electric/Heater, Vacation & Timer); Rheem ProTerra spec sheet and Rheem’s guide to its smart features. Rheem’s 120 V plug-in has no elements, so it offers only Heat Pump and Vacation modes.
How much air it needs: 450, 700, 1,000 or 1,200 cubic feet
The heat pump takes its heat from the surrounding air, so a small sealed room soon gets cold and the unit slows down. How much air is enough? Models differ, and ENERGY STAR alone gives three answers on three pages.
| Source | What it says |
|---|---|
| DOE Energy Saver and ENERGY STAR product page | At least 1,000 cubic feet of air space |
| ENERGY STAR installer guide (2024) | Most 240 V models need at least 700; some 450; some 120 V models more than 700. A closet of 84 or more with a fully louvered door can work. |
| ENERGY STAR “Ask the Experts” (2024) | At least 450, about an 8 × 8 ft closet; smaller with a louvered door |
| Rheem ProTerra 240 V spec sheet (2025) | Over 700: no extra ventilation. Smaller: louvered door or two louvers. Runs down to 450 at reduced efficiency (not recommended). |
| Rheem ProTerra 120 V plug-in spec sheet (2025) | Over 1,200 cubic feet: no extra ventilation. 400–1,200: louvered door or louvers. Under 400: duct the exhaust and fit a louvered door. |
All figures in cubic feet. Rheem counts only unoccupied air: stored boxes reduce the usable volume.
Work out your room’s volume
Multiply length by width by ceiling height in feet. Say your utility area is 10 feet by 12 feet with a 7-foot ceiling: 10 × 12 × 7 = 840 cubic feet. That clears Rheem’s 700 for its 240 V ProTerra but falls short of the 1,000 on ENERGY STAR’s product page and the 1,200 Rheem lists for its plug-in. With the plug-in, Rheem’s sheet calls for a louvered door or louvers in a room that size.
When the space is too small
- Louvered door: Rheem calls for a full louvered door or two louvers, top and bottom, with at least 3.25 square feet of open area for its 240 V model, plus a gap under the door.
- Ducting: most manufacturers sell duct kits that bring air in from, or send cool exhaust to, another space or outdoors. For closets under 400 cubic feet, Rheem calls for ducting plus a full louvered door.
- Clearance: Rheem asks for 6 inches above its 240 V unit and the exhaust at least 6 inches from walls. If ducted, ENERGY STAR says point the cold exhaust away from thermostats and busy rooms.
The room’s temperature sets how well it works
ENERGY STAR advises an interior space that stays between 40°F and 90°F year-round. The hardware tolerates more: Rheem rates its ProTerra heat pump to run from 37°F to 145°F. Below the compressor cut-off, which ENERGY STAR requires makers to report, an integrated unit keeps making hot water with its electric elements, at about the cost of a standard electric tank, until the room warms up.
Basements, garages and closets
- Basements are often ideal. In a 2022 study of 81 basement installs cited by ENERGY STAR, the heaters lowered the temperature by 2.3°F on average, and the drop faded within 4 hours.
- Garages suit warm climates, where the heater cools and dries the garage. In the north, an unheated garage can sit below the cut-off for weeks, and the unit runs on its elements.
- Closets in the heated house work if the air rules allow, but in winter some of the heat comes from your furnace. Efficiency Maine lists “reduced savings” in a heated space; a Canadian study cited by ENERGY STAR found the water heating savings offset the extra heating load.
- Furnace rooms and other spaces with waste heat are the best spot, says ENERGY STAR.
Cold climates: look for NEEA tiers or a split system
ENERGY STAR says yes, they work in cold climates, and Efficiency Maine offers a $1,200 instant discount on them. What matters is where the unit sits: a basement that stays above 40°F is fine anywhere; a garage that freezes is not, for an integrated unit.
The best cold-climate yardstick is the Advanced Water Heating Specification from NEEA, an alliance of more than 140 Northwest utilities. It rates heaters by Cool Climate Efficiency (CCE), measured at 67°F and 50°F plus the compressor cut-off, to reflect basements and garages. Version 8.1 applies since July 15, 2024; a draft version 9 went out for comment in June 2026.
| Tier | Minimum CCE | Sound limit | What else it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 2.0 | Under 65 dBA | Baseline: ENERGY STAR certified and passes a freeze-protection test (required at every tier) |
| Tier 2 | 2.3 | Under 60 dBA | Two-thirds of the tank drawn before elements engage; inefficient modes expire in 72 hours; 10-year parts warranty; blocked condensate stops the compressor |
| Tier 3 | 2.6 | Under 55 dBA | Ships in its efficient default mode; filter reminders |
| Tier 4 | 3.0 | Under 50 dBA | No element heating in the lower half of the tank while the heat pump can run |
| Tier 5 | 3.5 | Under 50 dBA | No element heating in default mode unless it is below −5°F |
Source: NEEA Advanced Water Heating Specification v8.1 (2024). NEEA’s qualified products list (updated September 21, 2026) shows, for example, Rheem’s 240 V ProTerra at Tier 4 and Rheem’s and A.O. Smith’s 120 V models at Tier 3. Utility rebates in some regions require a minimum tier.
Split systems: the compressor goes outside
A split system puts the heat pump outdoors and the tank indoors, so it needs no indoor air space. ENERGY STAR says many make hot water at outdoor temperatures as low as −25°F. The best known, SANCO2, uses CO2 as its refrigerant; its 83-gallon system is listed at a UEF of 3.8, a first-hour rating of 121 gallons and a compressor cut-off of −26°F. It stores water at 145–150°F and requires a mixing valve.
The catch is price: ENERGY STAR notes split units can cost several times more than integrated ones. Water lines run between the outdoor unit and the tank (SANCO2 allows up to 66 feet) and must be protected from freezing. They make most sense with no suitable indoor space, or in very cold climates.
Noise: about a refrigerator to a dehumidifier
The fan and compressor hum while the heat pump runs. ENERGY STAR puts most new models at 45–60 decibels, between a refrigerator and a window air conditioner; Efficiency Maine says “as loud as a dehumidifier.”
| Type | Sound level | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 240 V integrated models reporting a figure | 41, 49 or 54 dBA | ENERGY STAR certified data (117 of 425 listings report it) |
| 120 V integrated models reporting a figure | 41–45 dBA | ENERGY STAR certified data |
| Rheem ProTerra 120 V plug-in | 55 dBA | Rheem spec sheet |
| Split systems, outdoor unit | 37–49 dBA | ENERGY STAR certified data |
Most listings leave the field blank, so ask for the spec sheet figure. NEEA’s tiers test every model the same way.
If the heater will sit near a bedroom or office:
- Set it on rigid foam or isolation pads and cushion seismic straps (ENERGY STAR installer guide), or ask about the maker’s sound kit.
- Remember a louvered door lets sound out as well as air in.
- Prefer NEEA Tier 4 or higher, which must test under 50 dBA.
It drips water, so it needs a drain
Cooling the air pulls moisture out of it, and that water collects in a pan under the evaporator. ENERGY STAR describes it as clean, neutral water that can go to a floor drain; Rheem’s units have 3/4-inch condensate connections. With no drain nearby, the installer adds a condensate pump, at extra cost. The unit should sit level so the line drains.
Owners have two small extra jobs: rinse the air filter when prompted and keep the condensate line clear (on NEEA Tier 2 and above models, a blockage shuts the compressor off). See the maintenance schedule for the usual tank jobs.
120 V plug-in or 240 V: recovery is the trade-off
Most models run on 240 V. ENERGY STAR’s installer guide says they typically use a 30-amp breaker and 10-gauge wire, like a standard electric tank, so replacing an electric tank rarely needs new wiring.
Replacing a gas heater is different: there may be no 240 V circuit, and your panel may need room for one. Hence 120 V models with a factory power cord. Some need a dedicated 15-amp circuit; others can share one. ENERGY STAR certifies them separately, with a lower bar (UEF 2.20 instead of 3.30).
| ProTerra 240 V (PROPH50 T2 RH400) | ProTerra Plug-in 120 V (PROPH50 T0 RH120) | |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit | 30-amp, 208/240 V | 15-amp dedicated, 120 V |
| Backup elements | Two, 4,500 W | None |
| UEF | 3.88 | 3.0 |
| First-hour rating | 67 gallons | 51 gallons |
| Yearly use in the DOE test | 846 kWh | 1,082 kWh |
Sources: Rheem spec sheets (forms 07.25-RH-HEHP-400-SO-SS and 07.25-RH-PIHP-DC-SS); ENERGY STAR certified-product data, medium-usage test. Rheem’s plug-in sheet says it “easily replaces a standard gas water heater.”
Rheem says the main difference is recovery speed. With no elements, a plug-in can’t catch up quickly after a run of showers, so ENERGY STAR’s installer guide says 120 V units typically go two sizes up from gas, for example a 40-gallon gas tank to a 65-gallon heat pump. For panel, wiring and venting questions, see switching from gas to electric.
Sizing: expect to go one size up from gas
ENERGY STAR suggests starting from your current tank’s capacity and sizing up, “particularly when replacing a gas unit.” A gas burner reheats water much faster than a heat pump, so the heat pump needs more stored hot water to cover the same busy hour.
The first-hour ratings show it. Rheem’s 240 V ProTerra is rated at 60 gallons (40-gallon size), 67 (50), 76.6 (65) and 87 (80). Bradford White’s 50-gallon, 40,000 BTU/h gas tank is rated at 89. To match that gas tank’s first hour you would need the 80-gallon heat pump. Rheem suggests a 65- or 80-gallon heat pump model for many families of four.
Count your busiest hour with the worksheet in what size water heater you need, then check the first-hour rating on the spec sheet; heat pump models don’t have to carry the yellow EnergyGuide label.
What it costs to run, with the assumptions shown
Savings depend on what you replace, your energy prices and how much hot water you use. ENERGY STAR’s figures differ between its own pages; its savings page gives the table below, against a standard electric tank, while its cold-climate article says $425 a year for a family of four.
| Household | Electricity saved per year | Savings per year | Payback | Lifetime savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 people | 1,880 kWh | $270 | 5.5 years | $2,050 |
| 3 people | 2,820 kWh | $410 | 3.7 years | $3,830 |
| 4 people | 3,760 kWh | $550 | 2.7 years | $5,610 |
Source: ENERGY STAR, “Heat Pump Water Heaters: Benefits and Savings.” These are ENERGY STAR’s figures on ENERGY STAR’s assumptions: electricity at $0.146 per kWh, $1,503 extra purchase cost over a standard electric tank, 13-year life. DOE’s representative 2025 electricity price is 17.22¢ per kWh, so the same kWh savings would be worth about 18% more today.
A worked example against gas and electric
ENERGY STAR compares only with electric tanks. To compare with gas, use DOE’s high-usage rating test: 84 gallons a day heated from 58°F to 125°F, about 16.9 million BTU into the water each year. Divide by each heater’s efficiency, then multiply by DOE’s representative 2025 prices: 17.22¢ per kWh and $1.43 per therm.
| Heater | Rated efficiency | Energy per year | Cost per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard 50-gallon gas tank | 0.63 (federal minimum) | About 269 therms | About $384 |
| 50-gallon electric tank (Rheem Performance Plus) | 0.93 | About 5,334 kWh | About $919 |
| 240 V heat pump (ENERGY STAR median) | About 3.9 | 1,240 kWh | About $214 |
Our arithmetic, using DOE’s test formula: 365 days × 84 gallons × 8.24 lb per gallon × 67°F = 16.93 million BTU a year. Gas: 16.93 ÷ 0.63 = 26.9 million BTU = 269 therms × $1.43. Electric tank: 16.93 ÷ 0.93 = 18.2 million BTU = 5,334 kWh × 17.22¢. Heat pump: the median listed use of the 243 ENERGY STAR 240 V models rated in the high-usage test, 1,240 kWh × 17.22¢. Prices: DOE representative average unit costs for 2025 (Federal Register, March 2026). Real results vary with room temperature, mode and use.
Here, switching from electric saves about $705 a year, and switching from gas about $170, less where gas is cheap or electricity is expensive. DOE puts it the same way: a heat pump water heater “might” cost less to run than a gas tank. Try your own rates, or see what a water heater costs to run.
Installed cost, and the rebates that are left
Home Depot’s range covers equipment, labor, materials, permits and removal; conversions and extra work can cost more. The other figures come from ENERGY STAR’s 2024 article on installation costs and are not local quotes.
What pushes an installation toward the top of the range, according to ENERGY STAR:
- Louvers or other carpentry for air
- A condensate pump or long drain run
- Duct kits
- A new 240 V circuit or panel work, especially when replacing gas
- A mixing valve, where code or a utility program requires one
- A bigger tank: heat pump models run 40–80 gallons
Replacing gas also means capping the gas line, typically a nominal cost per ENERGY STAR. Prices vary with how familiar the installer is with heat pumps, so get more than one quote and compare them line by line.
Rebates in 2026
- Federal tax credit: ended. The IRS says the 25C credit, which covered up to $2,000 for a heat pump water heater, applies only to improvements made through December 31, 2025. Pages that still advertise it are out of date.
- Federal Home Energy Rebates: the law caps the rebate at $1,750 for a heat pump water heater, for households at or below 150% of area median income. States run the programs. DOE says the rebates are “now available in select states”; your state energy office knows if yours is one.
- Utility and state programs: many utilities and efficiency programs offer rebates or instant discounts; Efficiency Maine, for example, offers $1,200 at participating retailers. Amounts and rules change often.
Rheem’s ProTerra carries a 10-year limited tank and parts warranty. If you have an electric tank, note that DOE standards for heaters made from May 6, 2029 will require heat pump technology in electric tanks over 35 gallons, according to A.O. Smith’s summary of the rule.
Who it suits, and who should think twice
Replacing an electric tank
Good
- Biggest savings: about $705 a year in our heavy-use example
- The 240 V circuit is usually already there
Watch for
- Needs air space and a condensate drain
- Costs more up front
Best for: Almost any home with a basement, garage or utility room that passes the air check. The strongest case for a heat pump.
Replacing a gas tank
Good
- No flue or combustion at the heater
- Lower running cost at DOE’s 2025 average prices
Watch for
- Smaller savings: about $170 a year in our example
- Usually a bigger tank, and maybe a new circuit
Best for: Homes moving off gas, homes with expensive gas or propane, and anyone with a good rebate.
Small closet or cold space
Good
- Ducts, louvers or a split system can make it work
- Split systems run to about −25°F outdoors
Watch for
- Extra carpentry or ducts
- Split systems cost several times more
Best for: Get a site visit before deciding. Sometimes a standard tank is the better buy for the space.
It is a poor fit in a small sealed closet with no room for louvers or ducts, in a spot that regularly freezes (for an integrated unit), or beside a bedroom where a steady hum will bother someone. A large household relying on a 120 V model with no elements will also struggle. In those cases compare tank water heaters and tankless water heaters.
What to ask before you sign
Heat pump water heater quote checklist
- The exact model number, its first-hour rating and its UEF
- The air volume the model’s manual requires, and whether my space meets it without louvers or ducts
- Where the condensate will drain, and whether a pump is included
- Whether the quote includes any electrical work, the circuit size and a permit
- The sound level from the spec sheet, and how you will reduce vibration
- Which operating mode you will set, and why
- Whether the model qualifies for my utility’s or state’s rebate, and who files the paperwork
- The warranty on the tank, the sealed system and labor
Bring photos of the space, the heater’s label and the electrical panel; ENERGY STAR says many installers appreciate them and some quote without a visit. Our photo checklist shows which shots help. Plan ahead if you can: the right model may need ordering, and the install can take longer than a standard swap.
Common questions
Do heat pump water heaters work in cold climates?
Yes, if the unit sits in a space that stays above its compressor cut-off, usually 35–37°F, such as a basement. In a space that gets colder, an integrated unit switches to its electric elements. Split systems with an outdoor heat pump can make hot water down to about −25°F.
Can a heat pump water heater go in a closet?
Often, with a louvered door or ducts. ENERGY STAR’s installer guide says a closet of at least 84 cubic feet can work with a fully louvered door, and Rheem allows closets under 400 cubic feet with ducting and a louvered door. Follow the manual for the specific model.
Will a heat pump water heater make my basement cold?
A little. In a study of 81 basement installs cited by ENERGY STAR, the average temperature drop was 2.3°F and it faded within about 4 hours. The unit also dehumidifies the basement, which many owners welcome.
How loud is a heat pump water heater?
Published figures run from about 41 to 55 dBA for indoor units. ENERGY STAR compares the range to a refrigerator at the quiet end and a window air conditioner at the loud end. Check the spec sheet, since most ENERGY STAR listings don’t report sound.
Is there still a tax credit for heat pump water heaters?
Not a federal one for new installs. The 25C credit covered improvements made through December 31, 2025. Federal Home Energy Rebates of up to $1,750 exist in select states for eligible households, and many utilities offer their own rebates.
Can a heat pump water heater replace a gas water heater?
Yes. Expect a bigger tank than you have now, a drain for condensate, and either a new 240 V circuit or a 120 V plug-in model. The installer caps the gas line. Running-cost savings are smaller than when replacing an electric tank and depend on local gas and electricity prices.
How long does a heat pump water heater last?
ENERGY STAR cites 13–15 years, and its savings estimates assume 13. Many models carry a 10-year tank and parts warranty; Rheem’s ProTerra line is one example.
Do heat pump water heaters need more maintenance?
A little more. Besides the usual tank jobs, you rinse the air filter when the unit prompts you and keep the condensate drain clear. The control panel or app usually flags both.
