A tattooed plumber kneels on a drop sheet brushing dead leaves off the coil of a round heat pump water heater.

The short answer

A heat pump works like a fridge in reverse: a fan draws air over a refrigerant coil, a compressor concentrates the heat, and that heat goes into the tank. It uses much less power than an electric element but costs more to buy, needs an outdoor spot with airflow and makes some fan noise. Sited and sized well, it suits most Hunter houses.
