I'm with you here. I replaced a gas water heater with a hybrid water pump and I'm paying more for my troubles. The thing is, I do plan on installing PV panels in a few years--I can't generate my own gas so once I make that happen, I'll be a happy camper.
- kelnos 3y agoThat was my plan; install solar panels and then slowly switch things from gas to electric as they need replacement. Unfortunately solar installer I was in contract with canceled on me for seemingly-bogus reasons, and I didn't have time to find a new one before California's new, unfavorable net metering rules went into effect.
- elil17 3y agoMost hybrid water pump heaters do not fully use their heat pump by default - their should be an "Eco" or "heat pump only" setting somewhere on your device which will make it much more efficient.
