How Demand Response Programs Save You Energy and Money

Energy supply is limited to what utilities generate during peak hours. Your water heater is the second single biggest user of electricity in your home, making up 13.6% of residential energy usage by appliance. It’s second only to space heating and cooling, which uses the most energy at 42%. Both are major opportunities to change residential energy usage.

Changing energy usage is especially urgent in California, where energy grids are becoming more vulnerable to climate-related disasters like heat waves,

Leading the Decarbonization Transition with Heat Pump Water Heaters

As governments globally strive to achieve carbon emission reduction targets, decarbonization is a term you’ll hear more often. Decarbonization simply means the act of removing carbon. Similarly, a decarbonized economy is an economy that produces net-zero or carbon-neutral emissions.

Why Carbon Dioxide Matters

Why is it so important that we reduce CO2 emissions and decarbonize the economy? First, let’s understand the carbon cycle and why carbon matters.

The Earth has a naturally occurring carbon cycle that attempts to reach a dynamic equilibrium between the atmosphere and the Earth’s biosphere and oceans.

The Inner Workings of a Tankless, Creating Continuous Hot Water

It’s quite a mystery. How does such a small water heater produce a continuous supply of hot water? From the outside, our tankless water heater looks like a simple gray box. However, there is a lot going on in there and we’re showing you the textbook version of how a Rheem® tankless water heater works. It won’t be a mystery anymore. We’ll walk you through how condensing and non-condensing gas tankless units function.

How a Rheem Condensing Water Heater Works

Condensing tankless water heaters are much more efficient than non-condensing water heaters because they have two heat exchangers.

The Full Story on Rebates and Incentives for Heat Pump Water Heaters

Across the country, local utilities and incentive programs offer rebates and credits for switching to Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWHs). The goal is for homeowners to adopt high efficiency HPWHs to reduce energy demand, lower carbon emissions and help utility companies provide a reliable energy supply.

Why Are There Rebates and Incentives for Heat Pump Water Heaters?

Many states and cities have set aggressive carbon emission reduction targets. For example, California’s target is to reach net zero or carbon neutrality by 2045.
