Gas vs. Heat Pump Water Heaters

What’s The Difference?

    • Heat Pump Water Heaters: Use electricity to move heat from the air into the water, rather than generating heat directly.

    • Gas Water Heaters: Use natural gas or propane to heat water through combustion.

    • Heat Pump Water Heaters: 2–3 times more efficient than standard electric or gas models, thanks to heat transfer technology.

    • Gas Water Heaters: Generally less efficient, as energy is lost through venting and combustion.

    • Heat Pump Water Heaters: Lower monthly utility bills due to reduced energy consumption.

    • Gas Water Heaters: Fuel costs can vary, but they often cost more to operate over time.

    • Heat Pump Water Heaters: Use electricity and can run on renewable energy if available.

    • Gas Water Heaters: Burn fossil fuels and produce greenhouse gases. They also emit harmful combustion byproduct.
