So you're basing your opinion on one make and one type (hybrid) of heat pump water heating system? I wonder what your opinion would be if you'd look at other systems, like the split heat-pump water heating systems from for instance Sanco.

Just Compare BTU's on heat pump. That's how you can accurately compare when using heat pump mode.

@@quickwaterheaterfiltration5292 I know what my opinion is, I'm interested if your opinion would change if you'd look at split system heat-pump water heaters instead of the hybrid one you're basing your opinion on now. FYI, Sanco heat pump water heaters are about 40% more efficient than hybrid water heaters. Nominal heating capacity is 15,400 Btu/h or 4.5kW. Delivers water of 145 to 150°F, works in ambient temps of -26 to 114°F. Electrical connection required is 240V/15A, MCA is 7.2A. Uniform Energy Factor ranges from 3.66 to 3.88 to 3.72 depending on tank size (43, 83 or 119 gallons). First Hour Rating is 69, 121 and 134 gallons respectively. Another big advantage is that the unit containing compressor and fan is outside and only produces a noise level of 37 DbA, so no need to shut it down.

To improve this, ensure that we understand not, all Heatpump water heater are 240v. There are products for heat pump water heaters that plug directly into a 3 prong standard 120v outlet pull. Highly recommend customers that are serious about products look somewhere else cause this video is 2 months old with very limited accuracy on product representation.

The ambient air must be considered in the cost effectiveness of running one of these units. Below 60° capacity starts to diminish rapidly. My 1700sqft open basement will reach a low of near 50° in Jan requires 30% more kw than 70° ambient in summer.

They are both well-known and good brands. That being said, The attributes for both start to show with Bradford white having a better anode rod and a better way to help reduce sediment build up. Bradford White water heaters come with a comprehensive warranty that is considered to be more generous than the industry standard. A.O Smith is less generous.

You sir need to get your hands on more brands before making these statements. Bradford is one of the worst heat pump WH … great customer service, bad product. Stiebel Eltron HPWH is a beast, maybe try that before bashing the whole segment. Here in Texas we install quite a bit of them as it also has the added benefit of cooling down the hot garage during summer months.

why not put solar panels on the roof that heat water directly instead of electric . you know the old style where solar means hot water. in san diego it should work well. then your heater is a tank.

From the outset, your numbers were crazy! You think pulling a 240V wire to a water heater is going to cost $2K? Where did THAT number come from? Because it is more likely to be $400 total for most situations. So I stopped watching right there.
