Heat Pump Water Heaters Simplified, with Ron Dymek of Dymek’s Freedom Plumbing
Several EAOC members have already worked with Ron Dymek, of Dymek’s Freedom Plumbing, by adding tankless water heaters and water conditioners to their homes. So, in this week’s morning meeting, we were excited to hear what all the buzz has been about with heat pump water heaters, and to get first-hand homeowner reviews of these systems, including learning all about the current incentives and rebates being offered.
Water heaters are the second highest source of energy usage in the home, contributing to as much as 30% of a household’s energy cost. On average, water heaters use more energy than a refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer combined. Switching to a high efficiency heat pump versus a standard gas or electric water heater means significantly lower energy bills, fewer carbon emissions, upfront and long-term savings, and plenty of hot water.
Electric heat pump water heaters use warmth from the surrounding air to heat your water. Like air conditioners in reverse, heat is pulled into the storage tank from the surrounding air, helping cool and dehumidify the room in the process. In hybrid mode, when fast recovery is needed, two back-up 4,500-watt copper heating elements heat the water during peak demand periods.
Replacing gas-fired appliances in the home with electric alternatives like the heat pump water heater helps homes to become safer, more efficient, as well as help avoid emitting more carbon emissions into the environment. Ron also detailed a variety of incentives to make the switch more affordable for the customer, such as tax credits, rebates, and more. Reach out to Ron directly to find out if a heat pump water heater would be beneficial for your family.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Happy Friday everyone!
We had a smaller, intimate meeting this week, and although we didn’t have a dedicated membership moment speaker scheduled, Carlos Salazar stepped up and gave us a great suggestion about calling two or three members we haven’t seen in person for awhile. He suggested just checking up on them. Ask them if they’re receiving any benefits of their membership. Let them know that we miss them in person.
I was the presenter this week and gave the different options for heating your water, which include the conventional gas storage tank, tankless, electric water heaters, and the new growing popularity with heat pump water heaters. Please email or call me if you’re wanting to know what the best option is for your home, and about the mini rebates and tax incentives that they are offering right now.
Next week’s presenter will be Quinton Fasola, from Asure Software.
