Fireflux Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) is a promising technology that uses the same mechanical principles as refrigerators and air conditioners to produce hot water economically and efficiently. Unlike conventional electricity and fossil-fuel-fired water heaters, HPWH's take heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the water in the tank. The decoupling of the heat pump unit from the tank system allows a greater flexibility in tank sizes, backup system, and installation options.

Heat pumps mainly consist of a compressor, fan, evaporator, and the heat exchanger. The compressor requires electricity to compress the refrigerant and vaporize it, and the fan requires a small amount of electricity to continually blow air across the evaporator coils when the unit is operating. The only electricity cost is the operation of the compressor and the fan in order to collect the free heat and pump it to the hot water.
