To optimize your heat pump water heater’s efficiency, mindful management of the temperature settings and adapting your usage patterns can make a significant difference. Set the water heater to the “energy-saving” mode commonly available in newer models, which maintains an ideal balance between energy consumption and hot water output. The recommended temperature setting by most manufacturers and energy experts is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It's hot enough for most household tasks without losing heat unnecessarily. Additionally, timing your hot water needs to off-peak hours, if possible, can reduce strain on the electric grid and potentially lower your energy costs if your utility has variable rates based on time of use.
