Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat instead of creating it, making them up to three times more efficient than standard electric models. They draw warmth from the surrounding air and transfer it into a storage tank of hot water. For best performance, install these systems in basements or utility rooms with plenty of clearance, since they lose efficiency in small, enclosed areas.
