| GE Hybrid Water Heater  Open the December issue of Popular Science and you'll find that the GE Hybrid Water Heater, with its advanced technology, pulls energy savings out of thin air. The innovative water heater has won a Best of What's New award in the Home Technology category. This is the fourth time GE's innovative products have won a Popular Science Best of What's New award for Home Technology. By utilizing heat pump technology in combination with traditional electric elements, the ENERGY STAR qualified GE Hybrid heat pump water heater pulls heat from surrounding air and transfers it to the tank. This innovative process creates the same amount of hot water as a traditional water heater, but can reduce energy expenses up to 62%.* That could have a dramatic impact on the environment and on consumers' monthly utility bills since the residential water heater is the highest energy user in U.S. households behind heating and cooling systems. In fact, the results in energy savings could be as high as $320 per year. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
