Bradford White Heat Pump Water Heaters

Efficient, Reliable Hot Water with Built-In Energy Savings 

Want to cut your energy bills without giving up hot water performance? Bradford White heat pump water heaters are engineered for maximum efficiency, combining smart heat pump technology with durable tank design. They’re ideal for Ontario homeowners looking for an eco-friendly upgrade from a standard electric tank. 

  

These units don’t generate heat like traditional models. Instead, they extract warmth from surrounding air and use it to heat your water - significantly reducing energy use while still delivering the same reliable performance Bradford White is known for. 

How Do Heat Pump Water Heaters Work? 

Also known as hybrid water heaters, these models draw ambient heat from the air using a high-efficiency compressor. That heat is then transferred into the tank water via a heat exchanger. 

  

When demand is high or room temperatures are low, the unit automatically switches to standard electric heating to ensure your home never runs out of hot water. 

  

This hybrid operation offers the best of both worlds — energy savings during normal use and reliable backup performance when needed. 

Is It Worth Getting A Bradford White Heat Pump Water Heater? 

Yes - especially if you're replacing an old electric tank. These models use up to 70% less energy, qualify for rebates across Ontario, and come with long-term warranties for added peace of mind. 

You also get: 

  • ENERGY STAR® certified performance 
  • Advanced digital controls for scheduling and vacation mode 
  • Bradford White’s Vitraglas® enamel lining to resist corrosion 
  • Whisper-quiet operation with insulated compressors and fans 
  • Tank sizes ideal for Ontario basements and mechanical rooms 

  

Whether you’re focused on lowering your hydro bill or making your home more sustainable, this is one of the most cost-effective upgrades available.

Choosing the Right Water Heater Starts with the Right Info

How Much Does It Cost to Install a Heat Pump Water Heater? 

With other providers, installation is often charged separately, which can make the total cost much higher. At Go Lime, installation is already included in our price, so you get the unit, professional installation, and setup all in one simple package. Plus, we’ll help you apply for rebates to save even more.

Do Heat Pump Water Heaters Run Out of Hot Water? 

Not likely. These units are designed with built-in electric backup heating to handle high-demand situations. If hot water usage spikes like multiple showers in a row, the electric elements kick in automatically to keep water flowing. Proper sizing ensures consistent comfort.

Are Heat Pump Water Heaters Noisy? 

The Bradford White Heat Pump water heaters are extremely quiet models. The compressor and fan are insulated for low sound output typically no louder than a refrigerator. They’re a great fit for basements, closets, or mechanical rooms near living areas.

Which Is Better: Heat Pump or Tankless? 

Both are efficient, but serve different needs: 

Heat pump water heaters excel in energy savings, are ideal for homes with moderate-to-high daily water use, and provide stored hot water with a backup system. 

Tankless heaters offer endless hot water, but can require higher upfront costs and electrical upgrades. 

If you're upgrading from an electric tank and want better efficiency without sacrificing simplicity, the heat pump model is often the better fit for most Ontario homes. 

Maintenance Tips For Your Heat Pump Water Heater 

While low maintenance overall, you’ll get the best performance by: 

  

  • Cleaning or replacing the air filter every 3–6 months 
  • Flushing the tank once a year to remove sediment 
  • Keeping 6–12 inches of clearance around the unit for airflow 
  • Checking condensate drains during service visits
