Dumb idea? Heat pump water heater in a finished basement

I’m debating putting a HPWH in a finished basement. Well, in a utility room in a finished basement with a louvered door. I’m excited to not use gas, but I’m also worried about a few things.

Pros

- Get off gas

- More efficient than a normal electric water heater

- Cooling help in the summer (although less needed in a basement)

Cons

- The HPWH is a parasite on my heating system in the winter. So I’m effectively using gas heating to heat my water, no?

- Noise: I’ve heard they can sound loud (like a 1980s refrigerator), which I don’t want when we’re watching TV.

- Too cool: I haven’t seen a HPWH that can sense if it’s cooling the room too much. This will be especially annoying in months like May where I don’t want to turn on a heater or an air conditioner. I could just turn off the heat pump function when it adds too much friction, but then I’ll really just have an electric resistance heater…and that’s lame.

Anybody else with experience here on these pros and cons and what to do to make it better? (I'm in Massachusetts)
