An appliance expert took to YouTube to share the benefits of switching to a more energy-efficient water heater.
The Electric Home Show (@ElectricHomeShow) posted a video reviewing a new heat pump water heater and raved about its efficiency. Host Aaron Stash noted that the heat pump costs around $10 a month to operate, which is less than an on-demand gas-powered water heater, and it is also highly efficient.
"This is 390% more efficient in how it uses energy to produce hot water," he said. "I can honestly say this is cheaper for us to operate than our previous on-demand gas water heater."
He pointed out that the household has never run out of hot water, and they keep it on heat pump-only mode to maximize its efficiency.
The video highlighted the benefits of switching to a heat pump water heater. If you're looking to make the switch, consider a Cala smart heat pump for your home. Since it doesn't rely on electric resistance or natural gas flames to heat your water, it does so far more efficiently than any traditional model would.
Heat pumps pull heat from the air around them and use it to heat your water. As a result, they require less electricity and no natural gas to run, making them far more efficient. They are also safer for your home than a traditional water heater.
But Cala takes things a step further. The company's customizable smart heat pump systems track when you use the most hot water to ensure you always have it when you need it. The tech also analyzes when the electricity needed to run it is the cheapest to make sure you're saving the most money possible on your hot water.
In fact, a Cala water heater can save you $179 a year over a gas-powered water heater and $767 a year compared to an electric resistance one.
