The Expert in Hybrid Water Heater Installation in Charlotte, NC, and Nearby Areas
Very little has changed with the basic concepts of water heaters since Edwin Ruud invented the first one in the United States in 1899. However, the need for better efficiency has certainly changed over the years and decades. This is why Charlotte Plumbing Masters, the authority on water heater repair in Charlotte, recommends hybrid water heater installation in Charlotte, NC, and the surrounding areas when it's time for a new or updated water heater for your home.
The Main Factors that Distinguish Hybrid Water Heaters
Hybrid water heaters are specifically designed to be the most efficient option on the market. Utilizing your home’s electricity coupled with heat pump technology, our A. O. Smith hybrid water heaters can have a Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) rating of up to 3.45.
A fan at the top of the water heater pulls air from the surrounding space through an evaporator. The refrigerant, in turn, absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant runs through a compressor that raises both the temperature and pressure. Finally, the heated refrigerant is passed through the condenser coil around the tank and transfers the heat to the water.
