Heat Pump Water Heaters: The Cool Way To Get
Hot Water
Did you know water heaters are the second highest source of energy use in your home? Here’s another fact: You can save up to 50% on water heating energy costs — up to $3,500 over the lifetime of your equipment — by upgrading to an ENERGY STAR® certified heat pump water heater. And we can help you save even more with a residential rebate.
Make the switch. Save a lot.
Just how much could you save with a heat pump water heater? That depends on how you’re heating water now. Check the chart below—and remember that you can save even more upfront with a Power Moves rebate.
| Fuel Type | Annual Energy Costs* | 10-Year Energy Costs |
|---|---|---|
| Propane Tank | $478 | $4,780 |
| Propane Tankless | $318 | $3,180 |
| Natural Gas Tank | $136 | $1,360 |
| Electric Heat Pump Water Heater | $94 | $940 |
| *Based on Propane $1.60/gallon; Natural gas $.50/therm; Electricity $.10/kWh. | ||
While you’re at it,
help save the planet
Bonus! You can reduce your CO2 emissions between 0.5 and 2.8 metric tons a year by switching to a heat pump water heater. That’s like planting between three and 17 new trees every year, which is great news for the environment.
And—double bonus!—a heat pump water heater also acts as a dehumidifier. In fact, you may not need a separate dehumidifier at all to keep your basement (or the area around your water heater) cooler and drier.
