Already have one, or installing one soon? Here are a few tips to keep your water heater well maintained and running efficiently long-term.

Why install an electric hybrid water heater?

• An electric hybrid water heater uses 60% less energy by moving heat rather than generating it. Less energy means more savings on your bill.
• You have more control over your water heater with water temperature control and different operating modes, including a “vacation” mode for when you’re gone.
• They can help dehumidify damp spaces, such as your garage or basement where they are typically installed.
• Electric hybrid water heaters typically come with 10-year warranties, and have an average life span of 13 years.

Is a new electric hybrid water heater right for you?

• Use this interactive decision tool to find out.
• Your new electric hybrid heat pump water heater should be located in a space with about 750 cubic feet. For example, in a basement with 7-foot ceilings, a water heater would need open floor space of roughly 10.5 by 10.5 feet around the unit.
• For the most efficient operation, the air temperature where the water heater is installed should average 40 degrees Fahrenheit or above.
• Because the heat pump exhausts cool air in the area where it is located, the water heater must be installed in a location that would isolate cool air or in a location that is ducted to the outside.
• Electric hybrid water heaters make about as much noise as an air conditioner. Consider this when making your purchase and placement decisions.
• Garages and unfinished (unconditioned) basements are ideal for hybrid water heaters.
