An average heat pump water heater (HPWH) emits roughly 519 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent, annually. HPWHs are estimated to avoid almost one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent per year when compared to a gas-powered unit. Heat pump water heaters are seen by many experts as a crucial decarbonizing technology.
