I just purchased this water heater, normally $1299, for $799 + tax + $75 shipping.
https://www.homedepot.c
Steps to get deal:
1) Go to above link
2) Change store to zip code 15010(Edit: use Zip 97322 for $699 instead of $799)
3) Select Ship to Home (unless you happen to live close to this store), add to cart.
4) Check out.
Additional notes:
1) Federal tax credit of $300. State tax credits vary, in my home state we get an additional $400 (bringing this heater down to $99 + $75 shipping + tax).
2) For many/most, the $75 shipping is worth it even if you can get this price locally as these heaters are quite heavy and supposedly must be transported vertically.
3) Do your homework on these hybrid heaters before purchasing. You need 220V to operate. Installation expense is generally much higher with hybrid electric vs standard electric resistance heaters and gas heaters. Hot water recovery is very slow (but you can switch to standard electric mode for rapid recovery when you know your usage will be high, e.g. having company over). They can apparently be loud, so if this will be located close to a bedroom, important to think about. There are important climate and installation location factors to consider--just google.
4) The newest generation of this series from Rheem, called "Proterra" can be had for $1269, a slight discount compared to full price (15% for my location). After carefully examining specs, photos, etc - it seems that the only difference with the Proterra series is built-in leak detection with auto-shutoff. FYI if that feature is important to you, you can add it for $219:

5) This is for 50 gallon. Looks like if you need 65 gal or 80 gal, the Proterra is actually on sale (whereas the Performance Platinum is full price), making the Proterra cheaper.

Basically, I will be paying
$699 +$79(shipping) + whatever the installation fee would be needed to convert from a gas water heater to the electric one - $300(tax credit).
TIA.

If you have enough space the best option is to have gas and electric heaters and operate one that is currently cheaper.

I'd like to vent up the side of the chimney into the attic, but the ROI doesn't seem to be there due the cost of ducting. Also, if you duct out, don't you have to duct in from somewhere?
I have both the gen 4 and 5 and the gen 4 unit is far superior IMO. More sensors, built in ducting adapters, quieter, leak detection, touch screen, etc. The gen 5 unit seems cheaper in almost every way.
The gen 5 unit does have compressor and element health reporting via ECOnet. Also the ability to Enable/Disable remotely.
They're both far superior to the GE GeoSpring I ran for eight years. Always going off with an audible alarm without any error code.

I did need to get the metal hoses, an expansion tanks and also realized the cables hooked up to the old heater were the wrong gauge so had to pull new wires. But that is not a issue everyone would face.
Overall very simple install if your handy and should be very easy for a pro.
Will have to pull new wires and rearrange the plumbing a little but I think it will be worth it. Extra bonus cooling my garage in Florida.
