This along with the increase in heat pumps, really makes me question air source heat pumps not directly hybridizing with water heaters (new water heaters have heat pumps that will cool your utility closet). But using house heat pumps to cool air / heat water in the summer could at least decrease energy use during the day; and then in the winter, the water (as a heat source) can help assist older heat pumps in pumping heat from the cold (though modern heat pumps solve this problem)
