Electric Hybrid (heat pump) Hot Water Heaters in El Paso and
Teller Counties Colorado
A new Colorado Springs, or Woodland Park, area Hybrid Water Heater is a combination 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 demand for hot water is high.
A heat pump is a highly efficient, eco friendly 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 create heat but simply moves the heat from the air to the water. A heat pump can even operate effectively when the air temperature 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 around the inside of the tank. As the hot vapour circulates through the coils its heat is transferred to the water.
The Colorado Hybrid water heater operates at a 200% efficiency level, which makes it more than twice as efficient as a standard electric tank water heater. In practical terms, it will cut your water heating bills by half.
