Harrison REMC offers rebates on heat pump hot water heaters. Below is information about the water heaters; as well as rebate information.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
Water heater heat pumps are 14% of a typical home's total energy cost. A heat pump water heater dramatically reduces electric energy consumption compared to an electric tank style water heater. A standard electric tank style unit will use 4879 kWh of electricity per year compared to 1856 kWh of electricity per year for a heat pump model. For Harrison REMC members, the savings is nearly $302 per year with the current residential electric rate. That translates into an efficiency range of 300% to 500% for heat pump water heaters compared to 90% for a tank style model. The units get the btu's of heat for making hot water from the surrounding air, not from electricity. Harrison REMC has a $500 rebate for investing in this technology.
