Heat pump water heaters save energy and money
Central Electric Cooperative (CEC) is now offering a $1,000 financial incentive for installing a new heat pump water heater in existing site-built, multi-family and existing or new manufactured homes. $300 for new construction single family homes. Rebates are limited to one per residence.
What is a heat pump water heater?
A heat pump water heater is an ultra efficient water heater that is twice as efficient as a conventional water heater and that’s important because water heating is typically the second largest energy use in the home. This heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat from one place to another by absorbing heat from the surrounding air and concentrating it in the water tank – the more expensive electric heating elements only come on as a last resort.
