Heat Pump Powers Hot Water Heater
Rheem Manufacturing’s ProTerra Plug-in with HydroBoost water heaters put ambient air to work, delivering hot water to the tap. Like other hybrid water heaters, the Rheem units use heat pump technology to claim 5X the efficiency of standard gas water heaters while producing zero emissions.
Unlike other heat pump heaters, it’s designed for whole-home application and to run on 120V, 15 Ah power rather than 240V. This makes for a quick and simple install and is ideal for drop-in replacement of gas water heaters.
In addition to long-term savings, buyers can take advantage of tax credits and utility rebates where available.
The ProTerra units have a similar footprint to conventional water heaters. Rheem offers four models from 36 gal., 62 in. high by 20 1/4 in. diameter, to 72 gal., 75 in. high by 24 1/4 in. diameter.
Once installed, the units can be controlled, monitored, and scheduled with the downloadable app on any mobile device. They’re also “Demand Response” ready to take advantage of local utility rebates and reduced rates.
ProTerra Plug-ins are equipped with LED screens with built-in water sensor alerts and audible alarms. A leak sensor and shutoff valve are optional.
