Heat pumps for indoor climate control work great.
Comment on Heat-pump water heaters are a winner for the climate — and your wallet

We had a GE that had the heat pump die after a couple years. Now our AO Smith will randomly not have hot water some mornings with no error codes. I am all for heat pumps, I am just not enjoying being a beta tester. I’d like to replace my gas furnace with a heat pump but my previous experiences make me nervous. Hopefully in a few years they will be rock solid reliable.

We had our electric bill go down by 1/4 after installing our AO Smith Signature 900. Then the heat pump broke 13 months into a 12 month labor warranty (it no longer blew cold air, so it wasn’t working). We found out nobody even fixes the heat pump part. AO Smith agreed to take it back and refunded us but we had to hire a plumber to put in another one, this time a less expensive one.

I've had a heat pump for heating and cooling the house for three years and the only thing I've had to do is clean it

Heat pump water heaters are relatively new, but heat pumps for interior heating and cooling have been around for decades. I have a 14 year old system that works well.
