What Is a Heat Pump Water Heater?

A heat pump water heater (also called a hybrid water heater) uses the same refrigerant-cycle technology as a space heating heat pump to move heat from the surrounding air into the water tank. Instead of converting electricity to heat directly (as a standard electric tank heater does), a heat pump water heater moves heat — typically delivering 2 to 3 units of heat energy for every unit of electricity consumed. This makes them significantly more efficient than standard electric tank heaters, and eligible for BC Hydro rebates in Coquitlam.

Heat Pump Water Heater Installation Requirements in Coquitlam

Space requirements: Heat pump water heaters are larger than standard electric tanks and require adequate air space around the unit — typically at least 700–1,000 cubic feet of surrounding space. They draw heat from the surrounding air and exhaust cooler, drier air — the mechanical room or utility space must be large enough to supply this air volume. In Coquitlam homes with small mechanical rooms, additional ventilation ducting may be required.

Electrical: Most heat pump water heaters require a dedicated 240V/30A circuit.

Drain: The heat pump water heater produces condensate that must drain to a floor drain or condensate pump. HeatLand confirms the drain path during the site assessment.
