Heat Pump Water Heaters
In the morning, sometimes the measure of success is having enough hot water for everyone to get ready comfortably. And after a hard day’s work, not much compares to standing under streams of steaming hot water or soaking in a hot tub. You certainly don’t want to suffer from a water heater that doesn’t meet your needs!
Conventional electric units can heat water, but they aren’t nearly as efficient as a hot water heat pump. At Supplied Energy, we understand heat pumps; we work with plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians to add heat pump water heater installation to their businesses. We’ve seen firsthand how they can help homeowners, business owners, and property managers reduce utility bills and keep the hot water flowing.

Understanding Hot Water Heat Pumps
Whether you’re replacing an older water heater or building a new energy-efficient home or commercial building, it’s important to understand heat pumps.
-
What is a heat pump?
You may be familiar with the use of heat pumps to heat and cool a home. HVAC air source heat pumps obtain their energy from the outside air, while geothermal pumps obtain their energy from the ground.
Heat pump technology can also be used to heat water!

What is a heat pump water heater?
A heat pump water heater is a highly efficient type of water heater that transfers heat from the air to water instead of generating heat directly.
Although geothermal heat pumps used for HVAC can produce a portion of the hot water needed in a home, you still need an additional source of hot water. Air source heat pump HVAC systems typically are limited to heating and cooling the living space and usually do not perform double duty.
Much like HVAC heat pumps, the refrigerant in a heat pump water heater absorbs and releases heat as it cycles back and forth through the evaporator and condenser coils, heating the water.
The LG Inverter Heat Pump Water Heater uses two separate heat sources — the heat pump and electric heating elements. With LG, you have the option of three operational modes:
- Auto. The heat pump and heating elements work together for optimal performance.
- Turbo. Both the heat pump and the heating elements are used in tandem to increase the speed at which hot water is recovered.
- Vacation. Energy loss is minimized.
-
Can heat pump water heaters be used in both residential and commercial settings?
Yes! The LG unit comes in two capacities. The smaller unit would typically be used in a residential setting, while the larger capacity unit can be used commercially.

What are the advantages of heating water with a heat pump?
When it comes to a water heater, heat pump technology is the way to go. The durability, reliability, and flexibility of the LG Inverter Heat Pump Water Heaters let you reduce energy usage, save money on operating costs, and protect the environment. You may even qualify for tax credits through the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit.
