HYBRID ELECTRIC HOT WATER

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Shop APOLLO heat pump water heaters for household hot water. The current range is one hybrid electric model in 50- and 80-gallon capacities, designed to replace a conventional electric storage tank.

50 or 80 gallons | COP 5.12 | R513A

What is a heat pump water heater?

A heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into stored water. It is a hot water heater, not a space-heating heat pump: the appliance heats and stores domestic hot water in its own tank.

A conventional electric water heater relies on resistance heating inside the tank. An electric heat pump water heater can use heat-pump operation for that same stored-water job, which is why it is often considered when replacing an older electric storage tank.

APOLLO hybrid electric heat pump water heater

The APOLLO Heat Pump Water Heater is a hybrid electric model. It combines heat-pump technology with electric water heating in one upright appliance, with a front digital display and a design meant to replace a conventional electric storage tank.

The product materials list a coefficient of performance (COP) of 5.12, operation below 49 dBA, R513A refrigerant with a global warming potential below 700, and a demand-response ready design. COP describes the relationship between useful heat delivered and electrical energy consumed during heat-pump operation.

The APOLLO heat pump water heater

One hybrid electric model is available now, with two storage capacities. Both options use the same core features.

Heat pump water heater, electric tank, or indirect tank

Hybrid electric heat pump water heater

A standalone appliance that heats and stores domestic hot water. The APOLLO model combines heat-pump operation with electric water heating and is designed to replace a conventional electric storage tank.

Conventional electric storage tank

A standard electric water heater heats stored water with resistance elements. It is the equipment a heat pump water heater is commonly chosen to replace.

Indirect hydronic water tank

An indirect tank stores domestic hot water but receives heat from a separate boiler or air-to-water heat pump. It is part of a hydronic heating system, not a standalone electric water heater.

50 or 80 gallon heat pump water heater

The APOLLO heat pump hot water heater is available in two capacities. The 50 US gallon option is the smaller storage size in the range. The 80 US gallon option adds stored hot-water capacity for applications with greater demand.

Both capacities share the same hybrid electric design, COP 5.12 heat-pump performance, quiet operation below 49 dBA, R513A refrigerant, demand-response readiness, and front digital display. Choose the storage volume that suits the installation, then confirm the details on the product page.
