Q: Types of Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWHs)

Integrated HPWH This is a standalone unit where the heat pump and water tank are combined into a single unit. ≥ 3.30 UEF (Uniform Energy Factor) = very efficient Exception: If the unit is designed for a 120 volt / 15 amp circuit (usually plug-in units for homes without 240V wiring), it only needs to be ≥ 2.20 UEF Split-System HPWH These systems have separate indoor and outdoor components (like split heat pumps for space heating). <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="38" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"multilevel"}" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"> Must be ≥ 2.20 UEF to qualify

Integrated HPWH
This is a standalone unit where the heat pump and water tank are combined into a single unit.

≥ 3.30 UEF (Uniform Energy Factor) = very efficient
Exception: If the unit is designed for a 120 volt / 15 amp circuit (usually plug-in units for homes without 240V wiring), it only needs to be ≥ 2.20 UEF

Split-System HPWH
These systems have separate indoor and outdoor components (like split heat pumps for space heating).

Must be ≥ 2.20 UEF to qualify
