I bought 2 already so I know it works.
NYC's utility is incentivizing switching from gas to electric heat pump water heaters by giving a $1000 instant rebate when purchasing IN-STORE as a special order for the coupon to be applied.

Performance Platinum 65 Gal. 10-Year $1639.99 (It went as low as $1539.99).

ProTerra 65 Gal. 10-Year Hybrid High Efficiency Smart Tank Electric Water Heater with Leak Detection & Auto Shutoff
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem.../312741454


Also works on the Proterra (leak detection & auto shutoff version) and the other sizes but best when these are having a sale.
Shipped to store is free, delivery to your house is $79 extra + tax.


Program and participating stores:
https://www.coned.com/en/save-mon...r-and-save

$1000 instant rebate (must be a ConEd customers):
https://coned.instant-rebates.com/

Performance platinum 65 gallons
$1639.99 - $1000 = $639.99 + ny tax = $696.79 Shipped to store
Proterra 65 gallons
$1899.99 - $1000 = 899.99 + NY tax = $979.86 shipped to store

You also get 30% from the federal tax credit

It also should work on the AO smith version for Lowe's but I didn't try that.

*Buy on or Before December 31, 2024*

The $1600 rebate and 30% write off of project costs is available for BGE in Maryland too. But the 66 gal one I would need is $2600 and I'd need a 240 volt dedicated circuit ran to its location to run to it. Guess I'm sticking with a gas one. Reviews on the AO smiths heat pump ones at Lowes are atrocious!

They do make 110 volt heat pump water heaters now. I'm not sure how widely available they are, but they do make them.

I replaced a 50 gallon gas water heater with a 65 gallon one. It fit fine for me.

Similar to what others have noted, I love the significantly lower energy costs and the cooling effect on my garage when it runs (I turn the heat pump on and off using the app/control panel, and use it as air conditioning when my kids are practicing their sports in the garage). It feels like magic in the sense it sips electricity and generates cool air, while still serving up hot water.

The unit is definitely loud enough where I can hear it through in my home office, which shares a wall with the garage. When you're next to it when the heat pump is running it's about as loud as a window AC unit, but that's not something you probably want to hear if your current water heater is setup in your living space.

The EcoNet application is kind of hot garbage. Not only does it frequently become unresponsive, but the scheduling function is useless as it doesn't respect your current time zone (I know it knows where it is, as it shows you your city and current weather in the app). A simple solution would be for the app or control panel on the water heater to show the current clock time of the device. If they'd fix this internal clock issue, I would give these hybrid water heaters 5/5 stars. Until then, I'd still give it 4/5 stars for the magic I described above while living in an area with high cost electricity. This is an amazing price for the unit, if you can get it.

I agree the EcoNet is pretty garbage; in my experience, if you leave the app running in the background, it won't work again when you reopen the app. I have to hard close the app and for it to work again.

I'm overall happy with mine but I agree with another poster that these are loud if placing inside of the home. The app works well and you can always quickly kick it into electric element only mode if you want some peace and quiet.

Thanks for sharing! For any auto repair, finding a mechanic willing to install parts you bring to them is hard, but not impossible. From my experience, those willing to service the vehicle will void any labor warranty in case the parts turn out defective down the line. Is it the same for finding a plumber to install a water heater that you (the customer) purchased, do you forfeit the labor warranty if one accepts the job, or is it different here?
plumber will not warranty the part, only the installation.. usually

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. Not sure why my initial comment was downvoted, I was genuinely asking since I never purchased a water heater before.

You should measure, this one was definitely larger than my 50. Both wider and taller, and if it's raised, it's also heavier

This is a phenomenal deal for those who can get it. I have the 65 gallon model and it works great. Sure wish I had gotten this kind of incentive.

In addition to the efficiency of a heat pump, you can use the WiFi to further savings by adjusting or turning off the water heater when you don't need hot water (vacation, work, etc.).

Regarding federal taxes, the 30% credit applies to both the water heater as well as the installation cost.
Which Home Depot in NYC did you go to purchase the water heater? The one I went to only let me use the coupon on the retail price. Let me know which store and if you know who to look for to place the order. Thanks.

Those don't have the element also, which might not be a problem if you don't use the full capacity often.

Quote from LeviathanUltima :
Anyone have info on the federal tax credit? I thought it was being worked out at the state level at point of sale? And the DOE was working on finalizing the credit at the federal level?
I believe you are asking about Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) which was authorized with the Inflation Reduction Act. It is a rebate applied at POS and is divided into two income brackets (below 80% AMI and 80-150% AMI). The program is not up yet in any states as states have to work with the DOE (feds) for final approval. NYSERDA stated last month they expected the program to be up by late this year.

The other comment is talking about the already existing 25C Tax Credit. If you're in no rush and no you qualify based on income, I would wait for NYSERDA to roll out HEAR. You may be eligible for a $1,750 rebate for heat pump water heater.

CT utilities have a similar rebate, it's $750 but you have to buy in store, but was able to order the 65 gallon with the discount. Then get the 30% tax refund in April.
Use oil here with hot water in one unit, plumbed so I can shut down the oil burner for the summer and run off electricity only. Have solar and batteries so free hot water!
Yes a little noisy but in the basement doesn't bother me. And the basement is nice cool and dry now - big plus!
