By utilizing advanced heat pump technology in combination with traditional electric elements, this new GE Hybrid water heater has been designed with maximum energy efficiency in mind.
By utilizing advanced heat pump technology in combination with traditional electric elements, this new GE Hybrid water heater has been designed with maximum energy efficiency in mind.
The tank portion of this 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.
A compressor and evaporator are integrated into the unit to draw in ambient heat from surrounding air using two variable speed fans. Coils wrap the tank all the way to the bottom to transfer this heat into the tank and heat the water.
This innovative process creates the same amount of hot water as a traditional water heater, but can REDUCE HOUSEHOLD WATER HEATER OPERATING COST UP TO 62%. And that could have a dramatic impact on monthly utility bills!
