Heat pump water heater rebate
An ENERGY STAR® certified heat pump water heater (HPWH) can help you save both energy and money. Receive an SRP rebate of $500 when you install an ENERGY STAR HPWH.
HPWH benefits
A new HPWH uses about half the electricity of normal electric resistance water heaters. Visit the Department of Energy website to learn more about HPWH technology and check out the benefits of upgrading to a super-efficient water heater to see if one is right for your home.
