When it comes to water heating, striking the balance between efficiency and performance is crucial. Rheem® Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH) were designed for this very reason, offering five distinct operating modes to adapt to household hot water needs while providing maximum efficiency and cost savings.
Let’s explore how each mode works, when each should be used, and the other external factors that homeowners need to consider.
Energy Saver mode is the default mode for the hybrid electric HPWH.
When it comes to energy savings at home, few upgrades deliver like a Rheem® ProTerra® Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH). These innovative systems can dramatically reduce your utility bills while delivering reliable hot water for years to come. But just how much can you save—and how do these systems work to cut costs? Let’s dive in.
Energy Savings That Add Up
Traditional electric water heaters generate heat using electric elements – basically they burn electricity to heat your water.
You may have heard of a heat pump water heater (HPWH) and its variation the hybrid electric heat pump water heater. But what are they? We’re about to tell you everything you need to know about these impressive, innovative, and energy-efficient ways to provide hot water in homes. These machines not only transfer heat from the surrounding air to the tank water — they also provide homeowners with significant energy and cost savings. Thanks to the significant rebates available,
This year’s Heat Pump Water Heater Week was one for the books! Here at Rheem®, this special week is a tradition that started from Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) Day hosted by the Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI). HPWH Day has taken place every October since 2022 and is dedicated to energy efficiency education and awareness. From attending the annual HPWH Day program to watching our plumber live stream training, HPWH advocates from around the country enjoyed learning about the importance and benefits of this game-changing technology.
There are more and more opportunities for everyone to access energy efficiency and savings. We want to take a moment to thank you and share resources to help you save energy in your home too. To make these upgrades more affordable, there are income-eligible funding programs along with utility rebates (in certain areas) and tax credits that are available to everyone. Together with ENERGY STAR®, we invite you to explore all the ways you can save today,
Get ready for an exciting update to the Rheem® ProTerra® Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater. As the most energy-efficient water heating solution on the market, ProTerra models save homeowners up to $576 per year on energy costs1.

You may know about power plants, but have you heard of virtual power plants? Often referred to as VPPs, they use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cellular services to control smart devices like smart thermostats connected to HVAC systems, smart water heaters, photovoltaic solar panels, battery storage systems and EV charging stations. This network of smart devices or assets helps manage electricity demand throughout the day and avoid electric grid emergency response and use of expensive power sources when electricity demand is high.
Rheem® is always looking for ways to help you get the most out of your water heater. We’re proud to introduce our partnership with Renew Home and OhmConnect, a new no-cost program that can help you lower your electric bills and contribute to a stable energy grid. Eligible customers in California and New York can save energy when it’s most expensive and get rewarded automatically all year long for their energy efficiency.
