Yes, traditional hot water heater last about 10 years, so when it breaks or your water heater is about 10 years old, its time to look into a Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH)

Why? It’s one of the best home upgrades to save money on your electric bill and it’s gentler to God’s earth?  HPWH are four times more efficient than conventional electric water heaters so the payback is only about 3 years. The traditional water heater will not save you money in the long run. The hitch is that a traditional hot water heater cost about$500-1000 while a HPWH costs $1500-3000.

Heat pump hot water heaters, also referred to as hybrid hot water heaters or electric heat pump water heaters are the most energy-efficient water heaters on the market, because heat pumps move heat from one place to another, rather than creating it. And it’ll keep your showers just as hot and steaming as before!!

Better yet, because the HPWH is part of the Inflation Reduction Act, depending upon your tax status, you can get up to a $2000 rebate.
