Did you know your water heater is likely the second-highest source of energy usage in your home? One way to drive potential savings is to upgrade to a heat pump (hybrid) water heater. They're 70% more efficient than standard electric models and can help save up to $400 in annual energy costs.
What makes heat pump water heaters so efficient?
These innovative systems utilize hybrid technology to absorb heat from the air and transfer it into the water in the storage tank. The result is a water heater that's two to three times more energy efficient than conventional models while also being more environmentally friendly.
