Heat Pump Water Heater in Garage?
Does anyone have a Heat Pump Water Heater in their garage? I’m thinking about getting one, as the garage is Hot about Six Months out of the Year, with it warm another two to three months. Thinking on the terms I could heat water, cool the garage. I’m no concerned about heating it in the winter, as it always stays well above freezing, and I do have an electric heater, if I need to do work.

They offer no noticeable cooling, slight humidity reduction but these are tiny units. My garage has its own 4 ton HVAC system for cooling.

Unless you are using HUGE amounts of water, a heat pump water heater won't do much for cooling.
It will likely lessen your electric bill as they are more efficient, but may not be worth the initial cost.

Heat pumps are okay for some climates and uses but I think the advantage for domestic hot water are the "instant" heaters----seems to make more sense to me.
