Great company with a great product. Quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. This is the second time I’ve used NESHW. Highly recommend.

How does a Solar Assisted Heat Pump Water Heater Work?
A heat pump hot water heater. But better.
This isn’t a solar hot water system. It’s an all-electric heat pump that heats all the hot water you need— quietly, efficiently and without blowing cold air. An advanced heat pump cycle harvests outdoor heat through the outdoor evaporator panel, even on the coldest winter night. The large storage tank ensures that you have plenty of hot water and has a backup electric element that kicks in if the kids, the guests, and the dog all need showers at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need solar panels on my roof for Smart Solar to work?
No. It uses a lightweight panel that we can mount pretty much anywhere on the outside of your home.
Q: Why is it ‘Solar’?
The sleek black wall mounted panel is designed to absorb solar energy indirectly (via ambient air) or directly (via any direct sunlight).
Q: Will it cool my basement?
No. This technology is designed to eliminate the cold air blast that heat pumps are known for.
Q: Will I run out of hot water?
No. The Smart Solar storage tank is oversized, and there’s a backup heating element.
Q: Looks expensive.
After the double rebate and tax credit, the same or less than a conventional heat pump water heater—sometimes much less.
