An air to water heat pump system is configured to minimize operating cost of the system utilizing one or more of hot water demand patterns, present or predicted ambient conditions, and/or electrical power cost. The system may be configured to reduce production and/or storage of hot water during periods of low demand, and increase production and storage of hot or hotter water immediately prior to a period of predicted high demand for hot water. The system may be configured to take into account ambient weather conditions to increase production and storage of hot water during favorable ambient conditions, and/or to increase production and storage of hot water prior to predicted cold ambient conditions.
