Hybrid is the future of water heaters. It takes the heat out of the room to heat water. So if it is in a basement expect the temperature to drop at least 5 degrees. You can set it to electric heat or hybrid. On hybrid it saves a ton of energy. Plus you do not have to vent out the exhaust like you do with natural gas. If you are able to score the tax credit it is a no brainer.

I keep looking at these since I need a new hot water heater, my current one is in the garage, and I live in South Central Texas so if it lowers the garage temp, badass!

Bought the 80 gallon last February and installed myself. My emporia energy shows the old standard electric 60 gallon used 400 to 500 kwh per month. This one (on full time heat pump mode) uses 90 to 120 kwh per month. 3 kids and a wife, never ran out of hot water. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

A bucket. Mines in AV awkward spot in my garage so until i build a complicated drain system I just use a bucket and empty it once per week.

The performance platinum 50 gallon is only $999. What's the difference compared to the proterra? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem.../330317316

thinking of replacing my water heater which is gas installed up the attic, can this be used instead? does it requires new electrical wires or can it runs on 110 outlet? TIA.

I'm a plumber, and full disclosure, I've never dealt with these water heaters. That said, I've never heard a single good thing about these Rheems, fwiw.

You need a Condensate Pump; but you'll have to have somewhere you can pump to. A ground drain or utility sink or potentially directly into your drains if you can ensure they dont backup. I'm about to tie mine into my vent stack - which is completely prohibited by code - for the same reason. I have nothing in my basement to accept water, no sump or ground drain.

Heat pump water heaters are the way to go, unfortunately I went through 3 a.o smiths in 4 years. Hopefully Rheem has better reliability for people.

Just installed a 65 from HD yesterday, from when they were on sale a few weeks ago. 65 is large and needs to be transported upright so I had it delivered, first one had a dent so I got another and love it. When I was cleaning up after the install last night, the air coming out of the heater, felt cooler than my garage mini split, perfect for South Florida.
This is exactly why a heat-pump water heater isn't ideal for anyone in zone 5 or above.

Rebates delayed again for Oklahomans. Guidance for program implementation was released by the U.S. Department of Energy in July 2023, but applications for funding are not due until January 2025. Due to the complex nature of this program, quality development will take time. It will be approximately 18 – 24 months before the rebate programs are available to the Oklahoma public (Winter 2025 – Summer 2026).
Yes, they're delayed (hopefully not cancelled) by the current anti-science administration. I had to just move forward with electrical work despite the IRA having been passed years ago as the electrical panel + wiring rebates are now apparently on an indefinite pause because of...well, you know.

I have had one for several years. It is a GE and there is too much that can go wrong with these. Look up the GE there were a ton of lawsuits. GE had to stop making them. Mine worked for 2 years then for the past 5 years I have been using it on electric only. Do your research
It also cools off your house so you have to makeup heat in the winter for the loss of heat that is sucked up by this.
