There are multiple kinds of heat pump water heaters.

For the one I have, only the tank is inside. The full heat pump is outside, and water is piped between it and the tank.

I haven't seen those offered in my area, but In that case, I'll have similar criticism in about 6 months, when I have to run a separate AC unit to pull heat out of the house. It's almost like the water heater should be able to use either internal or external air as a source.
