2024 Heat Pump Water Heater Week Recap

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.
