Hybrid Heat Pump is our
most advanced, energy-efficient electric water
heater – its 2.45 Energy Factor lowers energy costs

Efficiency

• High 2.45 EF reduces operating

cost $370 annually compared to a
standard 50-gallon electric model

®

• ENERGY STAR

rated

Performance

• 8700 Btu/h compressor: the most

powerful in its class – more heat can
be created by the heat pump and
less by the costly electric elements.
This translates into signicant fuel
saving in real life applications. For
still more savings, the Rheem hybrid
has a wider temperature operating
range, which means the heat pump
can be used to heat water more days
throughout the year.

• Ambient operating range: 37-120° F

is widest in class, offering more days
of HP operation annually; designed to
meet Northern Climate Spec (Tier 1)

• EcoNet

™

enabled for
integration with home
automation, energy
management and
demand response systems

Easy Installation

• Easy access side connections

• Narrow 21" diameter, ts through
access doors

• Easily replaces a standard electric
water heater
