Did you know...
- Residential electric water heaters are the second highest energy users in U.S. households.
- The energy consumed by your refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer and clothes dryer combined use less energy than your current standard water heater.
- GE is leading the way by developing a solution that offers the same amount of hot water for the entire family, while using significantly less energy than a standard water heater.

Greater Energy Efficiency.
The GE GeoSpring Hybrid Water Heater is America's most efficient, using 62% less energy and saving $325 a year on utility bills.
Energy factor indicates a water heater's overall energy efficiency based on the amount of hot water produced per unit of fuel consumed over a typical day. The higher the energy factor, the more efficient the water heater will be.
The GeoSpring hybrid electric heat pump hot water heater:
- Saves approximately $325* per year–that's $3,250 savings in energy costs over a 10-year period.
- Uses less than half the energy compared to a conventional 50-gallon tank water heater.
- Operates at 550 watts in Heat Pump mode vs. 4,500 watts in standard electric mode.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint.
Operating a GE hybrid water heater instead of a standard 50-gallon electric model could help a U.S. household:
- Reduce water heating operating costs by approximately 62%.
- Reduce 62% CO2 emissions from the US grid associated with water heating.
- Save up to $325 annually.
- Save up to $3,250 over a 10-year period based on the national average electricity cost of 10.65 cents per kWh.
And...
If just 25% of U.S. 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, more than 4 billion lbs. of CO2 emissions from the U.S. grid could be avoided annually.
That's equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 360,000 cars on U.S. roads.
