Excited about installing my Rheem Ecosense heat pump water heater I purchased on closeout from Home Depot for only $524.00 The local utility company rebate went up from $300 to $500. I purchased a State brand 3 months ago for $1,500. They are dumping them now because no one understands the technology. The drawback I see is that they (mine) can be noisy- glad its in my garage. Great having a cool garage this summer, and my electric bill is down $30 a month. Running the condensate line can be a pain on these units, if I can find a quiet one that can go in a living space, it would also provide cold air for the house in the summer. Looking forward to seeing how quiet the Rheem one is compared to the state. I've heard people have had them in their kitchens here in Florida, providing cold air in the summer. I'm sure you'd want to switch it back to electric in the winter though.
