When it comes to energy savings at home, few upgrades deliver like a Rheem® ProTerra® Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH). These innovative systems can dramatically reduce your utility bills while delivering reliable hot water for years to come. But just how much can you save—and how do these systems work to cut costs? Let’s dive in.
Energy Savings That Add Up
Traditional electric water heaters generate heat using electric elements – basically they burn electricity to heat your water.
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.
Simply put, decarbonization is the reduction of carbon emissions. The impact of carbon emissions on Earth has sparked heightened awareness and tighter regulations across the U.S. and the world. Because Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH) produce zero emissions and dramatically reduce net carbon emissions up to 75%, they will increasingly play a pivotal role in achieving global decarbonization goals.
Regulations Affecting Commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters
The most cost-effective way to reduce global carbon emissions is to improve building efficiency.
