Hot Water Heat Pump Feasibility Calculator
Given your input conditions, you need to find a waste heat source of at least 0.0°F to achieve a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 0.00 which is the minimum to make a hot water heat pump financially viable.

Temperature Values
This tool helps industrial sites assess whether a heat pump is economically viable compared to their current hot water heating method. By inputting your electricity price, gas price, target hot water temperature, and existing heating method, the calculator estimates the required COP and waste heat source temperature needed to make the switch cost-effective.
Directions
Enter your last 12 months average electricity and gas prices
Enter the average hot water temperature needed for your processes
Pick the type of system currently used to make hot water at your site
You can adjust these parameters based on expected values to determine ranges you may need for your system.
