Scottsdale has a cool temperate climate with cold winters. Heat pumps still save significant money in this climate, but winter efficiency will be lower than in warmer zones. CO2 refrigerant models are strongly recommended. Consider a larger tank size (315L+) to build up stored heat during warmer parts of the day. Running costs may be 10-20% higher than in warmer climate zones. A typical household of 3-4 people will spend $200-$400 per year running a heat pump, compared to $800-$1,200 for gas or $1,200-$1,800 for electric storage.

A standard heat pump hot water installation in Scottsdale takes 3-5 hours for a straightforward replacement. If you're converting from gas, it may take a full day as the installer needs to connect new electrical circuits and potentially modify plumbing. Regional installations may require scheduling 2-4 weeks ahead.

For Scottsdale in climate zone 7: 1-2 people need a 150-170L tank, 3-4 people need a 250-315L tank, and 5+ people should consider a 315-400L tank. In cooler climates like yours, sizing up one tank size is recommended to ensure adequate hot water on cold mornings.
