How it Works
Smart hybrid heat pump tank water heaters are built to be one of the most efficient tank water heater on the market. Engineered to utilize your home’s electricity along with heat pump technology, the A. O. Smith line of hybrid heat pumps are ENERGY STAR® certified with a Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) up to a 3.88 rating, which conserves energy and reducing cost.
A fan at the top of the smart hybrid electric heat pump tank water heater pulls air from the surrounding space through an evaporator. Refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant runs through a compressor, which raises the temperature and pressure. Finally, the heated refrigerant is passed through the condenser coil around the tank and transfers the heat to the water. So, rather than using only the electricity in your home to heat the water, A. O. Smith smart hybrid heat pump water heaters utilize heat within your home to heat the water in your tank.
