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 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.
