Get Hot Savings with a Heat Pump Water Heater
Water heaters are the second highest source of energy usage in your home! A new heat pump water heater can save a family of four up to $3,500 in energy costs over its lifetime. Larger families – that use more water – can save even more!
Good for the Environment
Those energy savings add up to big savings for the environment. If all residential electric water heaters sold in the U.S. were heat pump water heaters, we would save more than $13.4 billion each year and prevent 155 billion pounds of carbon pollution annually. That’s like taking more than 15 million cars off the road!
How it Works
Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another rather than generating their own heat like a traditional electric water heater. Think of a heat pump water heater as a refrigerator working in reverse.
- A refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it out into whatever room it's in.
- A heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it, at a higher temperature, into a tank to heat water.
Rebates and Tax Credits
If your water heater is more than 10 years old, think about replacing it now to help avoid a costly clean up if your old water heater leaks or floods. For a limited time, you can get a $350 rebate and potential federal tax credits. Don’t delay! Save energy, save money, and help protect the climate with a heat pump water heater.
