The Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) is an integrated 
heat pump water heater unit, having an 850 watt 
compressor and external coil heat exchanger with backup 
electric elements (See Figure 1). When in Effi ciency Mode 
the heat pump draws heat from the ambient air in the room 
and transfers it to the water in the tank through the coil 
heat exchanger. While in Electric Mode the water heater 
functions like a standard electric water heater, relying on 
the electric elements to heat the water. A Hybrid Mode is 
available that relies primarily on the heat pump to heat 

the water while the electric elements only function during 
high demand periods. (See “Adjusting the User Interface 
Module/ Operational Mode” section).  The more often 
the unit operates using the heat pump, rather than the 
elements, the more effi cient the unit will be.
The 80-gallon tank capacity of this water heater is intended 
to take optimal advantage of the heat pump’s capability to 
heat water for large families or those having higher than 
normal hot water requirements.  This high capacity will 
enable the unit to operate in the maximum effi ciency mode 
more often than other models having lower capacity.
The HPWH uses about half the electricity of a comparably 
sized conventional electric water heater when operating 
in the Effi ciency Mode, and provides up to ½ ton cooling 
capacity and dehumidifi cation.  It is designed for indoor, 
residential applications for installation in a basement, 
garage or utility room (See “Location Requirements” 
section).
