What is a Hybrid Water Heater?A hybrid water heaters, also called heat pump water heaters (HPWHs), are water heaters that have a storage tank similar to traditional tank water heaters but it has two methods of heating the water. The main method for heating water is with the self contained heat pump system that sits on top of the tank. This is what makes hybrid water heaters taller than standard electric or gas tank water heaters. The second method for heating the water is using electric resistive (ER) coils.
