How Is the GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater different from other heat pump water heaters?
The GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater is the most technologically advanced water heater in the industry, combining three powerful technologies:
-
Heat Pump Technology offers four times more energy efficiency than a traditional electric water heater** by drawing in ambient air and turning it into water-heating power. Built-in demand response capabilities optimize home energy usage when rates are the lowest.
-
Flexible Capacity provides up to 60% more hot water for homeowners, meaning a 50-gallon unit can perform like an 80-gallon unit.*** How does it work? It’s the only heat pump water heater with an electronic integrated mixing valve that heats water hotter and precisely mixes it with cold water at the point of exit.
-
Powered by SmartHQ™ is WiFi ready giving homeowners total control over their water heater settings from their smartphone, enabling them to monitor energy usage and costs, adjust temperature and capacity and set custom schedules. It comes equipped with five mode options — heat pump only mode, hybrid mode, high demand mode, electric mode and vacation mode — which all can be controlled from the convenience of a smartphone.
In addition, the GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater features quiet operation, maxing out at 41 decibels.
The GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater includes peace-of-mind features
The convenience of smartphone controls combined with features designed to take the worry out of water heating:
-
Wireless Leak Detection: Sends alerts via the SmartHQ Home app, so homeowners can place their water heater anywhere - in the attic, basement, closet or garage - and still have peace of mind
-
Smart Valve Shutoff: If a leak is detected, water shutoff will be enabled automatically to save homeowners from potential water damage.
-
Sensing Anode Rod: This exclusive feature extends the water heater’s life and performance by notifying homeowners when it needs to be replaced.
-
10-Year Warranty: A limited, 10-year tanks and parts warranty signals dependability.
The GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater qualifies for IRA rebates
In addition to reducing the homeowner’s energy use and overall carbon footprint, the GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater qualifies for a federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in 2022. The IRA includes the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, which provides a tax credit up to $2,000 per year to homeowners who install energy efficient heat pumps through Dec. 31, 2033.
The GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater Offers Flexible and Easy Installation
Available this June in 40 gallon and 50 gallon sizes in both 120V and 240V (with 65 and 80 gallon capacities coming by the end of 2025), the GEOSPRING Heat Pump Water Heater has integrated pocket handles to ease installation. The 120V option can be plugged into any outlet in the house, making it ideal for replacing gas tank style heaters. And in accessory dwelling units, there’s no need to run a breaker for 240V — simply plug it into a 120V outlet.
Plus, the 120V models can be field converted to 240V, so it can be placed on a 20 amp dedicated circuit, which is ideal for older homes with only 20 amps on 240V.
