A heat pump water heater makes the same hot water as the electric tank it replaces using roughly a quarter of the electricity — it moves heat from the surrounding air into the tank instead of generating it with resistance elements. For Long Island homes on electric hot water, it is usually the single fastest-payback swap in the house.

Shoreline Air HVAC handles the whole change-out: haul-away of the old tank, condensate line, any electrical work, and the utility rebate paperwork. Most replacements are done in a day, and the rebate comes off before you pay — not as a mail-in afterthought.

~75% less electricity

ENERGY STAR heat pump water heaters cut water-heating electricity use by about three-quarters versus a standard electric tank — for a typical family, hundreds of dollars a year.

Utility rebates, filed for you

New York electric utilities pay real rebates on ENERGY STAR heat pump water heaters — on Long Island, PSEG pays up to $1,200 per unit. We confirm eligibility and file the paperwork.

One-day swap

Standard replacements — old tank out, new unit set, condensate run, wired, heating water — are typically finished the same day.

Bonus dehumidification

The unit cools and dries the air around it as it runs — in a damp basement, that is a feature you would otherwise pay a dehumidifier to provide.

Common questions

Do heat pump water heaters work in a basement?

Yes — a basement or garage with a bit of open space around the unit is the ideal spot. The unit needs roughly 450–700 cubic feet of air (a typical unfinished basement is far more), and it mildly cools and dries the space as it runs.

Is the hot water supply actually enough?

Modern 50–80 gallon units keep up with family demand, and every unit has a hybrid/boost mode that adds resistance heating for heavy-use stretches like holiday guests.

What rebates are available on Long Island?

ENERGY STAR heat pump water heaters qualify for rebates through your electric utility — PSEG Long Island pays up to $1,200 per unit — and income-qualified households can access larger amounts through NYSERDA programs. We check both before quoting your net price.

How long do they last?

Expect 10–15 years, comparable to or better than a standard electric tank, with 6–10 year manufacturer tank warranties depending on model.
