Kicking Off the Second Annual Heat Pump Water Heater Day

October 25, 2023 is the second annual Heat Pump Water Heater Day. Celebrate with us! The Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI) is bringing together manufacturers, installers, advocates, homebuilders and heat pump water heater (HPWH) owners to spread awareness about this game-changer in the world of energy efficiency. We’ve planned an entire day dedicated to heat pump water heater education. We’ll discuss HPWHs and their potential to help impact the environment through a reduction in energy usage and carbon emissions.

Why You Should Care About Energy Efficiency Day

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!

Understanding Your 2023 Water Heater EnergyGuide Label

As a homeowner, you may have noticed yellow EnergyGuide labels on your water heater and appliances. What does the information on the label mean and why is it there?

Why the EnergyGuide Label Is Important

In order to help consumers comparison shop products, the Federal Trade Commission requires manufacturers to place EnergyGuide labels on appliances. The label estimates a residential appliance’s yearly energy cost and how it compares to similar models.

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.

Back to School Means Back to a Busy Night Routine

Between sports games, dance lessons, homework, dinner and bath time, you’re surely hoping to find ways to bring some ease. With everyone needing to shower to get ready for bed, use the smart features on your water heater to make sure everyone has a hot shower.
