Thank you for the excellent update! It’s great to see real examples long after installation.
Yet another reason energy consumption goes down in the summer: incoming water is warmer as the ground surrounding the supply pipe heats up.
Not only does it make the water heater work less to get the tank up to temperature, the warmer cold water supply needs less hot water to mix with for a shower.
I’m up in Canada, where the cold water temperature difference is massive from summer to winter!
Thanks! Just got one and am installing it today....
We are a two person household. In the summer it’s about 1/4 the cost to operate of my old water heater. In the winter it’s about 1/3 the cost compared to the old one. Yes it was more expensive $1079 for 45 gallon and $196 in parts to install, but I will most definitely make the money back in a couple years. I’m just floored by the difference in our electric bills. Running it at 110deg most the day (change temp schedule via Wi-Fi). It comes on to 125deg (otherwise we run out of hot water) around 3pm-7:30pm(back down to 110deg normally just as 2nd person takes their shower).We’ve gotten in the habit of trying to run dw and take showers only in this window. It’s in the garage so we run it on heat pump only in the summer as it runs efficiently in a hot humid garage. In the winter we run it on energy saver (elements and heat pump). Highly recommend especially if your state offers a rebate.
I just had one installed. Live in SW Florida. Look forward to the savings!
I live in Washington and our water heater is in our unheated garage and it’s 31 F outside so it wouldn’t work well in the heat pump mode. I wonder if there is an automatic mode. It would be fine half of the year or a bit more in heat pump mode. Our heater is 20 years old and recently started acting up and is making extremely hot water.
Thanks!
I’m in central Florida and plan on getting one of these in March. I’m going to get the 80 gallon version bc with 4 girls, my wife and me we empty the 50 gallon electric we currently have at night. I’ve had to start taking an early bath just so when the girls take a bath at night the hot water doesn’t run out.
I hope to save some money bc I have a feeling our water heater cost us a lot every month to run.
I've put a 1 x10 x 20 furnace filter on the top inlet. So far not a speck of dirt on factory pull out filter. Hopefully the insides, condensation coils, & drain tube stays clean.
I plan on buying one of these and it will be in my basement which is a bit dusty. I will 100% be trying this out. I was concerned about it getting dirty.
@@AMan7595 Ours is in a dirt & rock basement area with a concrete pad for it and our propane furnace. A 3ft high cinderblock wall around 3 sides keeps the rocks & dirt away. I use a couple pieces of duct tape to hold the furnace filter in place.
Thank you for your report. There is a person online who states that: "maintenance of a hybrid tank water heater is a REAL problem with the filter getting so clogged with dust that the unit shuts down the compressor." He seems to imply that the filter must be cleaned almost every month. Most people who have "regular" water heaters do not do much if any maintenance.
What comments do you have? Do you have to clean your filter every month? Would you add another (furnace) filter over the inflow area?
Thanks!
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
My filter is very clean and I have to clean it maybe twice a year. If you have to clean it every month it means there must be lots of dust where water heater is located. I have it in my garage.
Heat Pump Water Heaters (like most heat pump products) make so much sense in temperate weather regions.
I’m jealous because these things make zero sense in colder regions where you’re drawing colder air or air that was already heated by a furnace and then (if you’re not directing the colder air that is exhausted outside your home) it just cools the air you just warmed with your furnace. So the perceived savings are negated by a larger gas bill from the furnace.
“But then you should get a heat pump to replace your furnace!” Heat pumps in cold climates aren’t as effective and eventually need to fall back to a heating element.
Heat pumps totally make sense in Florida, Texas, Arizona where it’s hot and you get the added benefits of air conditioning your garage or basement.
Agree with you. It makes more sense in warm climates
Is 43C the normal temperature setpoint that you use? If yes have you found any issues with that?
I have 43 C all day and 47 for the night showers. No issues.
@@MaciejPiotrowski Thanks, that helps me a lot. 43C will certainly keep the electricity consumption low, and we don't actually need water hotter than that IMO, maybe 45C ;)
I am interested in the 50 gallon Rheem Hybrid Hot water heater but would like to know if I would need a larger capacity. We are a household of 4 adults. So, please consider 4x shower, dishwasher 1 per day, and washing machine 4 times per week.
Do you think a 50 gallon Rheem hybrid water heater would be sufficient or could i potentially run out of water at peak usage. We reside in Florida.
Please let me know your thoughts on this matter. Thanks so much.
I have 2 people in the house and 2 bathrooms. When I have guests I change the settings for shower time to high demand and I have no problem with not heaving hot water.
My question: I live in Western Washington State and my hot water heater is in the main floor laundry room.... Does the hybrid make noise all the time or does it come on and go off like a refrigerator or air-conditioner.... I couldn't hear the sound of the unit on your video.
If you use so compressor turns on it will turn on and off just like AC. What I would do at night, this is what I do at home, I set schedule to turn it off. I dont need it to work at night. That's how you save electricity. When it uses heating element it's silent.
@@MaciejPiotrowski thank you very much...
Any reason why one of these heat pump water heaters would restrict water flow while in hybrid mode? Switch to electric and have water switch to hybrid and water is restricted???
There should be no water flow change between different modes.
I switched to. Rheem heat pump and have not noticed any drop in pressure.
How many watts does the heat pump use in heat pump only mode?
I have no idea. You may want to check with Rheem on that.
@@MaciejPiotrowski All good, I figured it! On the label it says 240V and Compressor 1.6A RLA (Rated Load Amp) 240*1.6=384 Watts [0.384Kw]. If it ran for 3 hours in heat pump only mode it would only have used 1.152 Kw which is amazing compared to electric heaters with regular anode rods using 4.5 Kilowatts which could end up using 13.5 Kw if they ran for 3 hours a day. The heat pump water heater is definitely more efficient.
@@William5394 Thanks for that info. When I was testing different modes on it Energy Saver seems to be the most cost efficient mode.
@@MaciejPiotrowski it seems so in the summer. I’m averaging 19kwh/week :)
@@William5394 Mine is in my garage on heat pump only for the summer. I’m averaging 19 kWh/week.
How loud is the pump?
watch this and you will hear it czcams.com/video/vYS1uZEyxX8/video.htmlsi=XZ5Hg5Rqty11sjJc&t=550
Hi, does this Hybrid requires a venting exhaust?
no
only if you are installing this in a closet.
