The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released a new web-based tool that offers comprehensive information about how to size, select, and install electric heat pump water heaters (HPWHs)—a key technology for advancing the Biden-Harris Administration’s national clean energy goals. HPWHs can be two to four times more efficient than standard units, which translates to energy savings and reduced carbon emissions. These benefits are maximized when installers follow best practices and choose the best model and size for the home. The HPWH Installation Tool makes this easier than ever, providing customized guidance for installers, sales associates, and homeowners to help overcome barriers to HPWH adoption. 

The goal of this tool is to help you through the decision-making process for heat pump water heater (HPWH) product selection and installation.
