A satisfied homeowner was pleased to share a breakdown of their electricity usage and energy savings after installing a heat pump water heater.
According to the OP, the heat pump water heater replaced a conventional 80-gallon electric tank that was about 18 years old.
To highlight their savings, the OP posted images of their energy consumption charts before and after installing the heat pump water heater.
"Had my 66gal AO Smith installed on the 11th and now have some data from my Emporia to compare the difference in electricity consumption," the OP wrote. "Safe to say it's using a little less than half the electricity with the same usage pattern, so I'm happy with that."
Redditors appreciated the OP's transparency and discussed the money-saving benefits of installing a heat pump water heater.
"For people that have electric resistance water heaters, heat pumps should be a no-brainer in the majority of situations," responded one user. "Thanks for sharing the data for all those folks!"
To put those savings in context, upgrading to a heat pump water heater can save you up to $550 each year. Heat pump water heaters are also two to three times more energy-efficient than traditional units, reducing your household's energy consumption and pollution output.
