Heat Pump Water Heaters
Enjoy reliable hot water - while saving energy and money
A heat pump water heater uses electricity and heat pump technology for greater efficiency. Instead of generating heat directly like a conventional electric water heater, it captures heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to the water stored in the tank. This process uses significantly less electricity while providing the same reliable hot water for your home.
Think of it like a refrigerator working in reverse: rather than removing heat from inside a refrigerator and releasing it into the room, a heat pump water heater pulls heat from the air and moves it into the water tank.

Is a Heat Pump Water Heater Right for Your Home?
A heat pump water heater may be a great option if you:
- Are replacing an aging electric water heater
- Want to lower your energy use and utility bills
- Are looking for an ENERGY STAR certified solution
- Have space in a basement, garage, utility room, or other area with adequate airflow
- Want to take advantage of available rebates and incentives
By combining energy savings, reliable performance, and rebates, a heat pump water heater can be a smart investment for homeowners.
Save Energy and Lower Utility Bills
Heat pump water heaters can use up to 50% less energy than traditional electric water heaters because they transfer heat rather than create it directly. This increased efficiency can help reduce energy costs while providing the hot water your household needs.
Enjoy Reliable Hot Water
Today's ENERGY STAR certified heat pump water heaters are designed to deliver dependable hot water for everyday activities such as showering, laundry, and dishwashing. Many models include backup heating elements to ensure consistent performance during periods of high demand.
Reduce Your Environmental Impact
Because they use less electricity, heat pump water heaters help reduce overall energy consumption and can lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to less efficient water heating technologies.
Added Comfort Benefits
As they operate, heat pump water heaters remove some heat and humidity from the surrounding air. When installed in suitable locations such as basements, garages, or utility rooms, this can provide a modest cooling and dehumidifying effect.
Rebates Available from PSEG Long Island
PSEG Long Island offers rebates of up to $1,200 for eligible ENERGY STAR certified heat pump water heaters that can help offset the upfront cost of upgrading to this high-efficiency technology.
