The icy showers and tepid baths you’ve been taking means that your hot water heater is no longer living up to its name. It’s high time, then, that you called Whitton Plumbing, Arizona’s leading plumbing specialists.

We at Whitton Plumbing can meet all of your hot water heater needs because we stock and install the latest and most advanced systems, including the GE® Hybrid water heater.

GE leads the industry by providing customers with energy efficient products like its Hybrid water heater, which can help to transform customers’ homes into more environmentally friendly, cost-effective places.

GE's Hybrid electric water heater can reduce your household’s water heating costs up to 62 percent. That's a savings of over $320 per year for households with three occupants. And you can enjoy the peace of mind which comes with knowing that the GE Hybrid, the very first unit to have earned ENERGY STAR® certification, will reduce your household's carbon footprint.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The GE Hybrid uses advanced heat pump technology in combination with traditional electric elements to supply your household hot water needs. The hybrid functionality between heat pump and standard electric elements brings maximum energy efficiency to your household water heating. The heater uses either a compressor and evaporator to draw ambient heat from surrounding air and to transfer that heat via coils to the water in the tank, or, if the water heater determines it needs a faster temperature recovery time, it uses standard electric heating elements.

The GE Hybrid electric hot water heater also has a vacation mode, which lowers the tank temperature to 50 degrees for 3-90 days. It returns to its set temperature on the last day.

HOW IT WORKS

When setting your GE Hybrid water heater, you can choose between three settings: Energy Saver mode, Normal mode, and a temporary Electric Heat Only setting. The Energy Saver mode works by extracting warmth from the surrounding air, concentrating the heat, and delivering it to the water. When hot water demands are high, you can use the Normal setting, where both the heat pump and electric element will operate as needed. The temporary Electric Heat Only setting is available to ensure hot water availability without operating the heat pump.

If just 25 percent of US households purchasing a new electric water heater in a given year were to choose GE's Hybrid water heater over a standard 50-gallon electric water heater, they would eliminate more than 4 billion pounds of CO2 emissions annually in the United States alone. That's the equivalent of the annual emissions of 360,000 cars on U.S. roads -- and a terrific reason to replace your old water heater with a GE Hybrid water heater.
