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.

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.

If you didn't already have an electric water heater, you likely might not buy this, even though it might make sense, which your comment does not!
Mine doesn't.
Generator or Solar and a battery- real freedom!
Yes, these are loud. They have compressors that kick on frequently when hot water is being used or hot water supply needs to be refilled.
The need 80sqft of space to work properly (~10'x8'). You can not put them in a small closet unless you duct them to the outside.
They will make whatever room you put them in cold.
Econet app is garbage. I haven't been able to get two separate accounts tied to a single unit but they may have fixed that.
Rheems warranty doesn't cover labor and sensors on them frequently go bad (Google bad evap sensor code A005). If a sensor goes bad you will only be able to use full electric mode.
Sensors are plug and play and Rheem will send you new ones but depending on how yours is wired/plumbed it could be difficult to access inside the unit.
Lastly, you will most likely need a pump for the condensate line if you don't have a drain accessible
That being said, they are good tech but not for everyone

no. online purchases are not eligible for the con ed discount. you also need to be a con ed customer to get the rebate.
I have a gas tankless that needs a 120vac supply to run it. But that's just for igniting and modulating the gas and water valve. It apparently doesn't require much electricity because during my last power outage I went to Best Buy and picked up a UPS. Plugged in the water heater and I was able to get 8 five minute showers and then the power came back on. Not sure how much run time was left in the ups. But it got me hot water when I needed it. In a worse case scenario I could just take the ups somewhere and charge it up and take it back home.

For myself, I went to the one at Woodhaven. Go to the Pro services or customer service desk and ask that you want to make a special order and have an instant rebate code.
It definitely lowered our electric bill!
