What about Heat Pump Water Heaters?

Did you know that water heating accounts for about 18% of an average home’s annual energy usage? This makes your water heater the second largest energy expense after space heating. It pays to make sure you have the right appliance for the job.

Consider purchasing a heat pump water heater if one of these applies:

Your current water heater is about ten years old.
You notice you're not getting enough hot water when you need it.
Your energy bills show a lot of electricity use on days when you run the dishwasher or wash clothes.

Don't wait until your water heater fails and you are forced to resort to whatever is available that day. Plan ahead to make the best choice for your home or business while taking advantage of all the incentives available to you.

"Heat Pump Water Heaters: An Opportunity for Dramatic Energy and Cost Saving." Guest speaker Nate Jutras addresses the HeatSmart Alliance in October, 2025.
