Heat Pump Water Heaters in Burlington, KY & Northern Kentucky
Did you know that water heaters are the second-highest source of energy usage in most homes? Heat pump water heaters can help you save energy and money every day, plus you may be eligible for tax credits and rebates that offset installation cost!
According to ENERGY STAR, certified heat pump water heaters can save the average household approximately $330 in savings per year on electric bills compared to a standard electric water heater. Larger families that use more hot water will save even more. Heat pump water heaters use the same water and electric connections as conventional electric water heaters, making them a great fit for any home.
How Does a Heat Pump Water Heater Work?
Heat pump water heaters work by using electricity to move heat from one place to another—instead of directly creating heat. What this means for homeowners is up to 3 times higher efficiency compared to other types of water heaters. Heat pump water heaters incorporate both HVAC and plumbing components and technology to deliver energy efficient water heating. At Arronco, we have years of experience working with these systems and our technicians work on them every day–giving you peace of mind.

Benefits of Installing a Heat Pump Water Heater
- Higher efficiency. These types of water heaters use less than half of the electricity a traditional water heater would need to operate. These systems can be incorporated with your existing HVAC and plumbing components to deliver efficient heating of your water.
- Lower energy costs. While the initial cost of installation may be slightly higher when compared to traditional models, over time, you will likely see a significant return on your investment. With lower running costs-typically only one-third of conventional water heaters, heat pump water heater systems can help you save money and lower total energy use each and every day!
- Tax credits & rebates. You can also offset the increased initial cost by taking advantage of available tax credits and other rebates offered by manufacturers, utility companies, and federal programs.
- Premium technology. Upgraded models offer innovative technology that gives homeowners premium features including user-friendly displays, vacation mode, and dual heating elements that will help your unit provide enough hot water to handle households with high demand. Safety features are also included that will protect the functionality and performance of your heat pump water heater for up to ten years.
