Join us in celebrating Energy Efficiency Day. This time of year, governments, organizations, manufacturers and utilities come together to promote energy savings and carbon emission reduction. To fully engage in this initiative, start by understanding what makes an appliance energy efficient. This knowledge will help you understand how energy efficiency benefits homes and businesses to make a positive impact on our environment!
Demystifying Uniform Energy Factor (UEF)
Let’s start by understanding water heater efficiency ratings.
Because sustainable product design is top of mind, we are honored to be named an ENERGY STAR® 2023 Partner of the Year for the third year in a row and elevated to “Sustained Excellence” status. In honor of Earth Day, this post highlights how ENERGY STAR influences the transition to a clean energy future.

As we transition to cleaner energy sources, smart decisions about your home’s water heater can help you save energy,
New ENERGY STAR® 5.0 performance requirements for residential water heater certification will become effective April 18, 2023. We’re making it easy for you to know which Rheem® water heaters are ENERGY STAR certified.
What’s Included in ENERGY STAR 5.0
The ENERGY STAR 5.0 requirements mirror finalized CEE (Consortium for Energy Efficiency) highest product category tiering and also qualify for the expanded 25C federal tax credit.

Rheem® products displaying the blue ENERGY STAR® logo have passed certification for strict energy efficiency testing. ENERGY STAR certification and energy efficiency mean energy cost savings for homeowners. That’s more money in your pocket compared to standard efficiency water heating products.
We’ve collected information about energy savings, sustainability and highly efficient water heaters to celebrate ENERGY STAR Day this year. You’ll learn their perspective on how to save today, save tomorrow and save for good.
With Energy Efficiency Day now here, we wanted to reflect on what it means to us to be energy efficient. Energy Efficiency Day falls on the first Wednesday of October every year. It aims to spread awareness about the benefits of energy efficiency, from lower costs to healthier homes and environmental conservation. Here at Rheem®, we’re passionate about making sure you have the resources to meet your hot water needs and reduce your energy use and cost.
Previously, we’ve demystified how condensing and non-condensing tankless water heaters function. The Rheem® IKONIC™ Super High Efficiency Condensing Water Heater with Recirculation, is the ultimate in convenience—and water savings—with unlimited hot water. Imagining how a compact, minimal clearance water heater can produce so much hot water quickly can seem difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ll walk you through how the Rheem IKONIC unit functions.
How the Rheem IKONIC Condensing Tankless Water Heater Works
The Rheem IKONIC Condensing Tankless Water Heater works like a Rheem condensing tankless unit with a slightly different process and added benefits.
Rheem® IKONIC™ is revolutionizing tankless. Our newest tankless water heater combines super high efficiency with smart technology. The goal is to get continuous hot water on demand and save money during times when you’re not using it. Continuous hot water means families can wash the dishes, load the laundry, cook dinner, bathe the kids and take long hot showers. With the built-in recirculation pump, you can choose when and how you want unlimited hot water.
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.
