Heat pump water heater installation

Upgrade to a high-efficiency water heater with rebates built in

A heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air to heat your water, cutting energy use compared with a standard electric tank. Eligible for up to $900 in Energize CT rebates — and we make sure it is the right fit and installed for performance.

What's included

Your estimate covers the full picture — electrical, space, model, and rebates

A heat pump water heater is not a straight swap. It needs a dedicated 240V circuit, enough airflow, and the right model matched to your household demand. Your estimate covers every one of those factors before any work begins.

We also file the Energize CT rebate application on your behalf — up to $900 back, handled by our team so you secure every dollar you qualify for.

How it works

What a heat pump water heater installation actually involves

Heat_Pump_Water_Heaters
Installation

Right-sized, right-fit, then professionally installed

A heat pump water heater pulls heat from surrounding air, so the install is more than swapping a tank. We start with an on-site assessment of your electrical panel, installation space, airflow, and hot water demand — these units need a dedicated 240V circuit, and older homes may need a panel update or new wiring — then on installation day we remove the old unit, set the new one in place, make any required electrical or space adjustments to meet code and manufacturer guidelines, verify proper ventilation, and calibrate the system for daily use.

  • On-site assessment of panel, space, airflow, and hot water demand before any work begins
  • Dedicated 240V circuit confirmed or added — panel upgrades handled if needed
  • Ventilation verified and system calibrated before we leave; most jobs finish in one day
Equipment selection

Choosing the right model for your home

The right unit depends on your household and your space, not whatever is on the truck. We help you select a model that balances performance, tank size, and long-term energy savings — accounting for the fact that these units need to stay within a certain temperature range, have good airflow, and run taller than standard tanks, which may require space modification — and we walk you through sound levels, control features, and recovery rates so you know exactly how your unit will run before you commit.

  • Model selected for your real hot water demand, space constraints, and energy savings goals
  • Temperature range, airflow, and height requirements assessed before installation day
  • Sound levels, control features, and recovery rates explained so you choose with confidence

Professional installation Hot water flowing from day one

We remove your old water heater, install the new unit, and make any necessary electrical or space adjustments to meet code and manufacturer guidelines, then verify ventilation and calibrate the unit so it runs efficiently from day one.

Your new unit is backed by a strong manufacturer warranty, and we offer optional maintenance plans plus service and support for the life of the system so your hot water stays reliable for years.

The guys were very informative and polite. They went through the house in a couple of hours and did a great job. They gave me other tips about my furnace as well.
