Electric Heat Pump Water Heater

These systems can use half as much energy as a standard electric water heater, and also provide air conditioning. (1)

Heat pump water heaters are available for commercial as well as residential use. They generally have a high initial cost when compared to other water heating options, but they are very efficient to run, so can have quite quick payback times, depending on your hot water usage and previous water heating bills.
