traditional electric elements, this new GE Hybrid electric heat pump water heater has been designed with maximum energy
efficiency in mind.
The tank portion of this ENERGY STARŪ qualified electric water heater includes two electric heating elements, a
pressure relief valve, an internal porcelain-lined tank and an anode rod. But what truly sets this product apart is
just above the tank.
The GE Hybrid water heater is ENERGY STARŪ qualified
The energy efficient GE Hybrid water heater has an energy factor rating of 2.35, this exceeds 2010 ENERGY STAR standards.
The energy factor indicates a water heater's overall energy efficiency based on the amount of hot water produced per unit
of fuel consumed on a typical day. The more efficient the water heater the higher the energy factor is.
- GE electric heat pump water heater - 2.35 EF
- Standard electric water heater - 0.88 EF
That means a GE electric heat pump water heater:
- Saves approximately $320* per year-that's $3,200 savings in energy costs over a 10-year period
- Uses less than half the energy compared to a conventional 50-gallon tank water heater
- Operates at 550 watts in eHeatT mode vs. 4,500 watts in standard electric mode
