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 the leading manufacturers 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 $4,200 to $6,100 installed before rebates. After the $750 NHSaves rebate and $300 NEHPA incentive, net cost is often $3,150 to $5,050 depending on the unit and any required electrical work.
What space does a heat pump water heater need?
Heat pump water heaters need adequate room volume or approved ducting so they can move air properly. Exact clearances, room volume, temperature range, condensate routing, and electrical requirements vary by model. We check the space and the manufacturer's installation requirements before recommending a unit.
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?
Often, yes, but the model's operating range and the room temperature matter. Current units commonly need surrounding air near 40°F or warmer for heat-pump operation. Below the model's range, the unit may rely more on electric resistance heat or require a different operating mode. We verify the space and manufacturer requirements before recommending a model.
