DESIGNED TO CUT ENERGY COSTS
BY MORE THAN HALF

If you were to combine the energy used by a household’s refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer and clothes dryer, all of those appliances together would still use less energy than the standard water heater. That’s why American developed Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater, which actually create more hot water than the standard electric water heater using significantly less energy. It’s a product that plumbers, wholesalers and homeowners can appreciate. In fact, American Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters can save the average household about $360 per year on their electricity bills compared to a standard electric water heater. That’s a savings of more than $4,200 over a 12-year period. With a payback period of three years of less, American Hybrid electric Heat Pumps are a great solution for an energy-efficient upgrade.

How They Work

In “Efficiency” mode, American Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters operate automatically to heat water in the following matter.

1) A fan brings air through the top air filter.

2) Heat in the air is absorbed by the refrigerant inside the evaporator coil.

3) The refrigerant is pumped through a compressor, which raises the temperature.

4) Hot refrigerant is circulated through the copper coil and transfers heat to the water.

5) The copper coil and storage tank are surrounded by 2 inches of “Environmentally Friendly” Non-CFC foam insulation to reduce standard heat loss.

Advanced Electronic Control User Interface

• User-friendly LCD touch pad control with intuitive status icons in plain English provided easy interaction.

• Safety lock feature prevents unwanted access

• Icons clearly indicate operating mode

• Three-line display communicates current status in plain English

• Individual buttons allow homeowner to chose from four operating modes: Efficiency, Hybrid, Electric, and Vacation.

Choose from Four Operational Modes

Choose the right efficiency setting, based on climate, demand and installation. Efficiency Mode- The most energy-efficient setting utilize only the heat pump to extra warmth from the surround air and transfer it to the water. This mode provides the highest efficiency with up to a 2.4 Energy Factor (EF). This extra capacity allows it to operate in the efficiency mode more frequently than smaller capacity units.

Hybrid Mode - When hot water demand is at its peak, this setting utilizes both the heat pump and conventional electric element to provide the needed amount of hot water. This mode will provide a highly efficient 2.33 EF.

Electric Mode - In electric mode, the unit operates as a conventional electric model utilizing the elements only to provide quick recovery.

Vacation Mode - One touch operating maintains tank temperature of 60 degrees F (15.6 degrees C) during vacation or extended absence to reduce operating costs and provides freeze protection.
