Heat Pump Water Heaters for Your Des Moines Home

Water heaters get used all day long. Morning showers, dishes at night, and laundry loads in between. As they age, you start to notice the problems. The hot water runs out faster. Bills go up. Some families also want to move away from gas because of safety concerns or the impact on the environment. And once a unit starts acting up, there is always that worry in the back of your mind that today could be the day it fails completely.

A heat pump water heater is built to handle these issues because it gives steady water and uses less energy. Schaal Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling installs and services heat pump water heaters across Des Moines.

How a Heat Pump Water Heater Works

A heat pump water heater does not burn fuel or run a big electric coil. It moves heat. Think of a refrigerator, only in reverse. A fridge pulls heat out of the inside and dumps it into your kitchen. A heat pump water heater takes heat from the air around it, even in a basement, and pushes that heat into the water. Homeowners are often surprised that the air does not need to feel warm for this to work. Even in cooler spaces, there is still enough heat in the air for the system to capture and move into the tank.

Because it is moving heat instead of creating it, it uses far less electricity. That is what makes it one of the most efficient options for water heating.

The Des Moines Advantage: Why a Heat Pump is a Good Fit in Iowa

Here is why more homeowners in Iowa are making the switch:

• Lower bills. Using up to 70 percent less energy means real savings. For many families in Des Moines, that adds up to hundreds of dollars each year.
• Helps with humidity. While pulling heat from the air, the system also dries it. That means basements feel cooler and less damp during Iowa summers. For homes that struggle with sticky air or musty smells, this is a welcome bonus.
• Cleaner option. No fuel burning, no fumes, and a smaller carbon footprint.
• Built to last. Most heat pump water heaters last 13 to 15 years and many come with strong warranties.
