GE Profile™ GEOSPRING™ Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater - Blowing Cold Air

The GE Profile™ GEOSPRING™ Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater's Hybrid and Heat Pump modes save energy by using a small amount of the heat from the air in your home to heat the water in the tank by way of a Heat Pump. The by-product of the heat pump system is cold air that is approximately 3-5 degrees cooler than the ambient air around the GeoSpring. The warm air is pulled through the system by fans to heat the water, then the remaining cooler air is moved out the back of the heater.

If the room where the water heater is stored is smaller than 10-by-10 feet, then it must have a vented or louvered door or other means to allow air exchange with surrounding rooms. The Installation Instructions for the GEOSPRING water heater provides additional details. 

An optional GEOSPRING ducting kit is now available to enable flexibility of installation in living areas and confined spaces for maximum comfort.  The part number of this kit is PH10VK.
