With advanced heat pump technology and traditional electric elements, the new GE Hybrid electric heat pump water heater has been designed with maximum energy efficiency in mind.

The tank portion of the Energy Star qualified electric water heater includes two electric heating elements, a pressure relief valve, an internal porcelain-lined tank and an anode rod. Above the tank are a compressor and evaporator integrated into the electric water heater. The evaporator draws warm heat from surrounding air using two variable-speed fans. The condenser coils wrap the tank all the way to the bottom and transfer this heat into the tank to heat the water.

This process creates the same amount of hot water as a traditional electric water heater, but can reduce waterheating expenses up to 62 percent to save up to $320 per year.

The GE Hybrid electric heat pump water heater is the first residential electric water heater with an electronic back-lit LCD control panel with multiple settings to meet a variety of needs. These settings include:

  • eHeat Mode — for the unit to operate only with the heat pump
  • Hybrid Mode — will use the heat pump to primarily heat your water but the elements for faster recovery
  • High Demand Mode — operates similar to the Hybrid mode, but knows that larger amounts of water will be used, so will cycle the elements on sooner and for longer periods of time
  • Standard Mode — shuts off the heat pump and operates only with the elements
  • Vacation Setting — will drop the temperature set point to 50 to save energy and prevent freezing; you set the number of days you will be away, and on the last day, it automatically switches back to the previous set temperature before you left
