Last week at the AHR Expo in Las Vegas, the Bradford White booth was buzzing with some of the latest innovation in water heating. Pictured here, the 65-gallon AeroTherm Series heat pump water heater exceeds ENERGY STAR™ standards and it now features Bradford White Connect, which transforms the AeroTherm® into a smart, connected appliance that can be controlled from any smart device via an app. It also features quieter operation with 50dBA operating sound pressure.
Gregg Holladay, Bradford White Water Heaters, gives the Hub’s Eric Aune the rundown on the AeroTherm heat pump water heater.
The AeroTherm provides year-round energy savings—saves about $300/year on energy bills, allowing for quicker ROI.
Consumers can choose between five operating modes for their level of efficiency and performance:
• Heat Pump (only)
• Hybrid Standard
• Hybrid Plus
• Electric (only)
• Vacation
The AeroTherm utilizes both heat-pump technology (1) and back-up electric heating elements (2) to heat water. This integrated system helps to drive the AeroTherm’s economical and efficient operation. During heat pump operation, a fan (3) draws heat from the air into a compressor (4) and evaporator (5) to heat refrigerant. Once heated, the refrigerant travels through a coil (6) that fully surrounds the water storage tank. The AeroTherm Series heat pump water heater provides considerable energy efficiency while greatly reducing the cost of water heating.
