These machines not only transfer heat from the surrounding air to the tank water — they also provide homeowners with significant energy and cost savings. Thanks to the significant rebates available,
This year’s Heat Pump Water Heater Week was one for the books! Here at Rheem®, this special week is a tradition that started from Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Day hosted by the Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI). HPWH Day has taken place every October since 2022 and is dedicated to energy efficiency education and awareness. From attending the annual HPWH Day program to watching our plumber live stream training, HPWH advocates from around the country enjoyed learning about the importance and benefits of this game-changing technology.
There are more and more opportunities for everyone to access energy efficiency and savings. We want to take a moment to thank you and share resources to help you save energy in your home too. To make these upgrades more affordable, there are income-eligible funding programs along with utility rebates (in certain areas) and tax credits that are available to everyone. Together with ENERGY STAR®, we invite you to explore all the ways you can save today,
