Four user-selected energy modes
With the press of a button on the easy-to-use control panel, you can select any of four energy modes that best suit your hot water needs.
This is the most energy efficient mode, using only 550 watts, instead of 4500 watts used in standard electric mode.
This is the default mode for the water heater. It combines the energy efficiency of eHeat with the recovery speed and power of standard electric.
Family or friends visiting for the weekend? Need faster recovery time on hot water? This mode is for households with higher than average water usage.
This mode is the least energy-efficient, and uses 4500-watt heating elements to heat the water quickly.
*Based on DOE test procedure and comparison of a 50-gallon standard electric tank water heater using 4881 kWh per year vs. the GE heat pump water heater using 1856 kWh per year, and national average of 10.65 cents per kWh
