Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater Installation
A hybrid heat pump water heater works like a refrigerator in reverse. It pulls heat from the surrounding air and uses it to heat water, rather than generating heat with an electric resistance element. This makes it 2 to 3 times more efficient than a standard electric water heater. A.J. LeBlanc Heating installs qualifying models from State, Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, and Rinnai throughout Southern NH.

Learn moreHeat Pump Water Heater FAQ
How much does a heat pump water heater cost to install?
A heat pump water heater installation in Southern NH typically runs $2,200 to $4,200 installed before rebates. After the $900 NHSaves rebate and $300 NEHPA incentive, net cost is often $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the unit and any required electrical work.
What space does a heat pump water heater need?
Heat pump water heaters need about 700 to 1,000 cubic feet of air space to operate efficiently. A typical basement or mechanical room works well. They also produce some noise (similar to a window A/C) and cool the surrounding space slightly, which can be a benefit in summer and a consideration in winter.
Can it replace my gas or oil water heater?
Yes, but it requires a 240V electrical circuit. If you're switching from gas or oil, we'll add the circuit as part of the project and quote everything together.
Does it work in a cold NH basement?
Yes, down to about 40°F. Below that, the unit switches to electric resistance mode automatically. For most NH basements, heat pump mode runs the majority of the year.
