A hybrid water heater uses a heat pump, just like you would have on a house, to extract heat from the surrounding atmosphere and use it to heat the water. Very efficient compared to a resistive heating element.
My hybrid water heater costs about $150-$200/year to operate, if that. Compare that to a similarly sized heater with resistive elements that will cost 2x-3x that. -D > On Jun 6, 2021, at 2:03 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Curt Raymond via Mercedes <[email protected]> writes: > >> I also discovered that Maine has a $750 rebate on a hybrid hot water heater. > > What is a "hybrid" water heater?
