Our Heat Pump Hot Water Heater Works Great

Action: 3605 - Install a Heat Pump Water Heater

Since our gas water heater was leaking, we replaced it in 2022 with a heat pump alternative. The water tank does a great job; water is hot and plentiful. We went with an 80 gallon Rheem Ruud Pro Ultra unit with a slightly bigger tank because we have an indoor whirlpool to fill and it can take the water a bit longer to heat up than the gas option. The tank has automatic leak detection and Wifi connectivity.

The Tank was installed by New England Ductless in 2022 as part of the MetroWest Solar and Clean Energy Challenge.  We were very happy with the pricing and the installation process. 

The unit has been operating without problems and the humidity in our basement has been reduced substantially.  We suggest you don't wait until your water heater fails. Plan for it and proactively replace it.
