Consider if this noise can be heard from your bedroom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cold air<\/strong> &#8211; While in operation, heat pump water heaters release cool, dry air into the surrounding space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size<\/strong> &#8211; Heat pump water heaters are slightly larger than standard electric water heaters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ducting<\/strong> &#8211; Some heat pump water heaters will be installed in a location that will require ducting to the outside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>To vent or not to vent?<\/h3>\n<p>Heat pump water heaters can be vented directly to the outside so that they do not cool the air around the water heater. If a tank is not vented, it may require at least 1,000 cubic feet of air space. This is roughly equivalent to a 10-foot by 10-foot by 10-foot room.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36742\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crpud.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/copy_of_HPWHDiagramForPrint.gif\" alt=\"Hot Water Heater Diagram\" width=\"700\" height=\"623\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"font-size: 30px; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.directefficiency.com\/crpud-residential-heat-pump-water-heater-rebate-application\/\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<script>\nwindow.addEventListener('message', function(e) {\n  const iframe = document.querySelector('iframe');\n  const data = e.data\n  const eventName = data[0];\n  const val = data[1];\n  switch(eventName) {\n    case 'setHeight':\n      iframe.style.height = val+'px';\n      break;\n  }\n}, false);\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from the air and transfer it, at a higher temperature, into the tank to heat the water.
