Action: 3303 - Install a Heat Pump Water Heater

We LOVE our new hot water heat pump. Obviously, it's great that we're no longer using oil to heat our water, but the main thing is that this is a stable piece of machinery. We got a Ruud 65-gallon one, and it has a bunch of modes (Vacation, Energy Saver, Heat Pump, and High Demand among others). It's certainly enough for a family of four plus visitors. We also pay a bit extra to have our electricity provided via wind power, so it's neat to think that our water is wind-powered. It has a built-in dehumidifier (a bonus for a basement). It's quiet. It came with an instant rebate of $7500, so it was around $4200 plus $500 to get the electricity connected to it. Our old indirect water heater kept having its coil damaged from the hard water of Wayland, which led to pressure imbalances and then the overflow valve kicking in - in other words, basement flooding. We are really happy to be done with that setup. Great conversion, done fast. Dana McLeod and team were excellent.
