  1. Hi all,

    Heat pump water heaters work just like heat pumps in refrigerators and window air conditioners. The heat pump water heater uses a heat exchanger to cool the air and the recovered heat from the air is put into the water with a second heat exchanger. Thank you...

  2. Like most appliances, water heaters have improved greatly in recent years. Today's models are much more energy efficient.
