Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for controlling hybrid water heater systems including a gas heating system and a heat pump system are provided. The gas heating system includes a burner in fluid communication with a gas line and is designed to heat the water tank. The gas line may be in fluid communication with a gas valve of a valve assembly. The heat pump system is further configured to heat the water tank. One or more temperature sensor(s) may be positioned in the water tank and in communication with a controller. The controller may determine a temperature setting for the water tank, request and/or receive one or more tank temperature(s) determined by the one or more temperature sensor(s), and/or send computer-executable instructions to the valve assembly (e.g., to transition the gas valve between closed and open positions) and/or the heat pump system (e.g., to turn on).
