Hybrid water heaters save a lot of money and energy when they are in heat pump mode, which means they need a lot of air to operate properly. A hybrid water heater needs to be installed where it has access to 700 cubic feet of air; this is equivalent to an 8’x10’ room. Garages are the ideal place, but you can install them in your basement as well. Mechanical closets are not typically going to be good options unless you vent the water heater to get air from outside. Vent kits are available at most hardware stores.
