WATER HEATERS
ENERGY STAR certified heat pump water heaters can save the average household over $250 per year on its electric bills compared to a standard electric water heater.
While a certified heat pump water heater costs more upfront, the savings will pay back the difference in about three years for a typical home. Replace your aging electric water heater before it fails, and start enjoying the savings right away.
Earn a $500 rebate for installing a minimum 40-gallon heat pump water heater!
