Budget-savvy homeowners are discovering how much money they can save on energy costs when they upgrade their homes with heat pump water heaters.
To address specific questions, many people have turned to the r/heatpumps subreddit for advice about choosing the right energy-efficient appliances for their homes.
For example, one user inquired whether a specific 50-gallon Navien hybrid heat pump water heater would be a good option for a family of three in San José, California.
"Currently, we have a similar sized gas heater and want to replace with a convenient green and efficient option," the OP wrote.
