Going Green: Install a Heat Pump Water Heater in Your Bend Home

Water heating accounts for nearly 20 percent of your home’s energy use, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Upgrading to a heat pump water heater can significantly lower that expense.

Heat pump water heaters join a list of environmentally friendly appliances designed to save you money and reduce your Bend, OR home’s carbon footprint. And yes, they are included in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which incentivizes homes and businesses to decarbonize toward clean energy.

Pyramid Heating and Cooling wants to help our Multnomah County customers live a greener lifestyle. We offer high-efficiency products tailored to your needs and budget.

Call us today at (503) 416-2201 to schedule an energy audit of your Bend, OR, home and find ways to start saving money.

What Is a Heat Pump Water Heater?

Heat pump water heaters use electricity to pull heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into a hot water tank.

Unlike a conventional gas-burning water heater, a heat pump water heater transfers heat instead of creating it. Doing so improves efficiency, lowers energy costs, and reduces your home’s greenhouse gas emissions.

You can purchase a model with the heat pump outdoors and the water heater inside your home. Or you can choose a standalone unit where the heat pump sits on top of the storage tank.

A well-maintained heat pump water heater will operate at a high level of efficiency for up to 15 years. Our Pyramid Heating and Cooling professionals can guide you through the selection process, helping you choose a model that fits your needs and budget.

Water Heater Tax Credits

The IRA offers homeowners a tax credit of up to $2,000 on qualifying heat pump water heaters. Depending on your household income, you could also qualify for up to $1,750 in rebates.

IRA incentives also cover insulation, heat pumps, electric stoves, solar panels, electric vehicles, and other upgrades. Call us today for a free consultation on making your home more efficient.

Pyramid Heating and Cooling can tell you what rebates and other incentives are available to you with the purchase of a heat pump water heater.

Creating a Greener Home

You might not realize it, but heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are currently responsible for over 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Consider switching to an electric heat pump when you are ready to replace your old furnace and AC unit. The Inflation Reduction Act makes the transition cost-effective and convenient.

To sum it up, here are just a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy by upgrading to a heat pump water heater:

• Fewer greenhouse gas emissions
• Lower operating costs
• Multiple rebates available
• Different-sized models are available to meet the specific needs of your household
• Timely and efficient installation by our Pyramid Heating and Cooling professionals
