RHEEM PROTERRA PLUG-IN WATER HEATERS

The Rheem ProTerra Plug-in water heaters are a smart replacement for gas heaters, offering quick and easy installation with minimal clearance requirements and a standard tank footprint. The 120V ProTerra Plug-in is ideal for drop-in gas unit replacement and high-efficiency upgrades without the need to install a 240V electric service. They are available in dedicated and shared circuit models. The ProTerra Plug-ins install with minimal to no electrical work and operate with up to 5X the efficiency of a standard gas water heater. An industrylargest compressor delivers the fastest heat-pump water heater recovery on the market (dedicated circuit model). On shared circuit models, a built-in EcoPort (CTA-2045 port) easily connects to utility programs for additional energy cost savings. And, with its wi-fi technology, users can completely control the water heater from a smart phone. Visit www.rheem.com.
