Over the past 10 years, the water heater industry has seen many advances in technology, delivering higher performance and greater efficiencies: flammable vapor ignition resistance (FVIR), tankless gas, high-efficiency gas units, power direct vent, and enhanced solar products — just to name a few of the innovations.
However, outside of the performance requirements of NAECA II (National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 2004), little has changed with regard to electric water heaters — until now. Energy-saving, fully integrated, heat pump water heater (HPWH) technology is now readily available, offering more than twice the efficiency of a conventional electric water heater.
