Worst was when Rheem approved exchange but Home Depot wouldn't honor exchange, that's after brought defective water heater back to customer service counter. Spend hours in a deadlock with Home Depot manager and Rheem on the phone with each other….
Now I got a dumb water heater
Leak sensor faulty-had to bypass to get unit to open valve and operate
Replaced heat pump temp sensor and still reports heat pump failures
Had do disconnect wifi , due to constant alarms
When heat pump ran-it was very loud
Overall junk and no rheem support
Certainly didn't save any on utility bills
When comparing ProTerra heat pump water heaters in 120V and 240V, the 120V models offer a simpler, plug-in installation, making them ideal for replacing gas units or upgrading to high efficiency without needing a 240V electrical upgrade. 240V models offer faster heating and potentially better performance in colder climates but require a more complex installation.
Here's a more detailed comparison:
120V ProTerra Plug-in Heat Pump Water Heaters:
Installation: Simpler, plug-in design; no need for 240V electrical work.
Ideal for: Drop-in gas unit replacement, high-efficiency upgrades without electrical panel upgrades.
Efficiency: Still highly efficient, offering up to 5x the efficiency of a standard gas water heater.
Models: Available in dedicated and shared circuit models.
Example: Rheem ProTerra Plug-in Heat Pump Water Heater with HydroBoost plugs into any standard 120V outlet.
240V ProTerra Heat Pump Water Heaters:
Installation: Requires 240V electrical service and potentially more complex installation.
Ideal for: Larger homes with high hot water demand, potentially better performance in colder climates.
Efficiency: Still highly efficient, but may require more electrical infrastructure.
Faster Heating: 240V resistive elements heat water faster than 120V.
Example: 240V models often have larger tank sizes and faster recovery times.

It is worth having someone take a look at it to see if it can be fixed before I order a new one? If I order a new one, how hard is it to install myself? I want to save some money
As to if it's worth replacing...really depends on the quality of the water heater, the water quality itself, and maintenance rather than simply age. For example a bottom of the barrel water heater on hard water that doesn't get maintained might only last a few years. A decent quality water heater on a good water supply that is flushed and has anode replaced regularly can last decades.
As for DIY or not...there is a lot to be saved if you CAN diy. If you don't know what you are doing and not inclined with plumbing etc you shouldn't. ESPECIALLY gas. That can be very dangerous and destructive if everything isn't done competently. Also it's not always a simple remove the old and install the new the same way. If there were any code changes since the last one was installed, you have to make those changes and install the new one to current code in most places. Also an increasing amount of places require permits to replace a water heater, and also a long those lines, there are probably jurisdictions that will not allow a homeowner to do a gas water heater and require a licensed plumber to do it. Maybe even electric ones too in some of the more hardcore places these days. Gotta check all that stuff even if you are competent enough to do the work.

Mine's been great. No louder than my dehumidifier, but it circulates cold, dry air throughout my hot, damp garage. Thought I'd need to set it higher than 120 degrees since I was going to keep it on heat pump only mode, but it can deliver hotter water than I can use to the other side of the house from itself, and I haven't managed to run it cold yet. I love that you can change the set temp with buttons on the front instead of unscrewing a metal panel and turning a thermostat dial. If I'm planning to work in the garage, I can go in and set the temp higher so it cools it down a bit. It's also helping keep my tools from rusting from the humidity, although it's still not enough by itself.
I feel bad for everyone that got a lemon, because this does exactly what I wanted it to. Everybody in hot climates should have (a working) one.

If your old unit does not have flexible gas, hire a Plummer to install one, it is not expensive.

In the fall it will cool my cold living room....
I have an open floor plan and no basement.
So I would only use it in the summer. I was very happy for it.
Shortly there after it broke. I guess they all seem to fail. I paid about $1,500 extra for 2 years worth of hybrid use. Still using it as regular setting works well.
I'd buy another. But I haven't seen any appliance company making things to last.
