Do you know your home’s second-biggest energy user? If you guessed “water heater,” you’re correct!
After your home’s HVAC, your water heater typically accounts for up to 20% of a home’s energy use.
If your electric water heater is 10 years or older, it may give you the cold shoulder — resulting in frigid showers, costly repairs, or even flooding!
Upgrade to an ENERGY STAR® certified Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH), which uses up to 70% less energy – and comes with a $600 rebate this October only!
How do Heat Pump Water Heaters work?
Conventional electric water heaters heat and store hot water at all times, even if you’re not using it.
A HPWH uses electricity to move heat from one place to another. By only heating warm water when you need it, a HPWH doesn’t waste energy or make you wait.
In fact, it’s up to 4x more energy efficient than conventional electric heaters, delivering average annual savings of $550 per year for a family of four. Nice!
Is a Heat Pump Water Heater right for you?
Sure, a HPWH is pretty awesome, but there are important things to consider before making the upgrade.
Age: If your existing water tank is less than ten years old, it might not be worth the expense to switch yet. But as soon as your water heater hits the big 1-0, you may want to consider an upgrade.
Tank Size: HPHWs are a little bigger than conventional water heaters, so if you don’t have the necessary space, you might try a split-system heat pump water heater instead.
Location: Where will your HPWH live? They perform best in spaces that range between 40º–90ºF, so make sure it stays in a place well above freezing.
Air circulation: To get the most out of your HPWH, it needs about 750-1000 cubic feet of air, or about the size of a 10’x10’ room (perfect for a basement or garage). Not possible? Just ask your installer for different setup options.
Access to 240V Electric Outlet: Electric water heaters already use 240V outlets, so you’re good to go there. However, if your current setup doesn’t have a 240v outlet then check with your electrician to install one!
