Naples Hybrid Water Heater Installation

Mike's Plumbing of Southwest Florida wants to make sure your educated on Tankless Water Heaters before you make your decision. Before rushing out to buy one of these replacements for your big storage heating tanks, a number of things must be considered in order to find a unit which suits the needs and demands of your home. 

The first thing is to set up the temperature of the water coming into a home. The standard desired temperature of hot water is about 110 degrees. Once it enters your home at 50 degrees, a device is required to maintain a 60-degree rise in temperature as it relate to the rate of the flow. 

As a result it is vital to know the rate of the flow as well, which is how a lot of gallons per minute water comes out of the tap. Lastly, along with the standard number of gallons utilized a day, these aspects can settle on the size as well as scope of the model required.

What Are the Benefits of a Hybrid Water Heater?

The advantages include:

• Saves Energy Energy is used ONLY when the hot water tap is turned on.
• Saves Space Tankless water heaters use zero floor space because they are wall-mounted.
• Unlimited Supply of Hot Water Provides hot water only when you need it.
• No Risk of Flood or Water Damage Tankless water heaters do not rupture or explode.
• Increases Your Home Value The vast majority of newly built homes come equipped with tankless water heaters. Real estate appraisers look for energy-efficient equipment options, while home buyers say tankless heaters justify a smart investment.
• Longer Lifespan Tankless water heaters last up to 20 years.

How a Hybrid Water Heater Works

A hybrid water heater, also known as a heat pump water heater, works by using the surrounding air to warm water, making it more energy-efficient than conventional water heaters. Here's how it functions:

1. Heat Extraction: The unit pulls in air from the environment.
2. Heat Transfer: The incoming air moves over evaporator coils containing a refrigerant, which absorbs the heat from the air.
3. Water Heating: The heat collected by the refrigerant is then transferred to the water in the tank.
4. Efficiency Boost: When demand is high or the air temperature drops, the system can switch to a conventional electric heating element to ensure a consistent supply of hot water.

This dual approach enables the hybrid water heater to efficiently produce hot water while adjusting to changing conditions.
