They are louder, as it requires a fan to move the air and transfer heat. It cools and dehumidifies the surrounding area, but I use it in a northern climate and it's great (super beneficial in humid summer, but not too bad during dry winter). It's about 3-5 degrees colder in the 15x8 utility room if the door is shut. Maybe 1-2 degrees colder if the door is left open.
Setup requires a condensate drain line, but otherwise it uses the same hookups (30A 240V) as a regular electric water heater so it's super easy to install
I have had to replace the thermistors 2x at this point though and all savings would have been lost if I was not able to do this work myself. All parts are free from Rheem for 10 years and their troubleshooting support is great so if you have a digital multimeter and are willing to watch some youtube videos this unit should be a good choice.
You can also just opt to not use the heat pump if anything goes wrong with that part of the heater.
