Rheem’s HP-50 heat pump water heater ranked 6th in BuildingGreen’s top-10 products for 2009

20 November 2009

The integrated air-source HP-50 heat pump water heater from Rheem Water Heating meets qualifications for an Energy Star listing with an Energy Factor of 2.0.

Measuring only 21 inches in diameter and 75.5 inches tall, the HP-50 heat pump water heater is slim and portable, making installation in spaces with restricted access easier. Rheems HP-50 heat pump water heater can also be retrofitted for existing electric and gas installations. The energy-saving design of the heat pump water heater will help a family reduce its carbon footprint by nearly two tons annually and the heat pump water heater's 50 gallon storage capacity qualifies for a federal tax credit as well as many state and utility rebates and incentives.
 

Tommy Olsen, Rheem Water Heating product manager said: “The average annual operating cost will be between $225 and $280, or roughly half that of even the most efficient standard electric water heaters on the market today.”
