BIG HOME ENERGY REBATES ARE COMING

Did you know that water heaters are the second highest source of energy usage in the home? On average, they use more energy than a refrigerator, dishwasher, laundry washer and dryer combined. Designed to help drastically reduce energy usage, heat pump technology is the most efficient way to heat water in the home.

With the highest home energy rebates in history, it’s the perfect time to upgrade your water heater. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners will be eligible for a federal tax credit of 30% of the total installed cost, up to $2,000, for purchasing a heat pump water heater. This means huge upfront savings for homeowners in 2023 and in some instances, potentially breaking even – especially when combined with local rebates, which can run as high as $1,000 in some states.

A. O. Smith, the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial and residential water heaters, recently introduced its most energy efficient water heater with the Voltex® AL (anti-leak) smart hybrid electric heat pump water heater. Designed to provide plenty of hot water at the lowest possible cost, the ENERGY STAR® certified water heater features integrated leak detection and smart connectivity to provide homeowners with significant energy savings. And at 45 dBa, it’s also the quietest model currently on the market.

Voltex AL heat pump water heaters are three times as efficient as standard electric water heaters, saving homeowners up to 78% in annual energy bills. By dramatically decreasing the cost of operation, homeowners can save up to $607 per year on utility bills.* Voltex AL is one of the highest efficiency models available with a Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) of 4.02 (66-gallon model), and the highest 50-gallon efficiency available today of 3.8 UEF. This means that for roughly every $1 of energy you pay, you’ll get $4 of hot water.

As America’s most trusted water heater brand, homeowners and professionals alike have relied on A. O. Smith for their water heating needs for nine decades. Johnny Unitas Jr., son of NFL quarterback legend Johnny Unitas, recently installed the Voltex AL in his Baltimore home for its unmatched efficiency and energy savings.

“It was an easy choice to make—they’re the best in the business and my old heater didn’t come close,” Unitas Jr. said. “My family’s partnership with A. O. Smith through the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation goes back many years, and I know they’re a brand I can trust with my home’s hot water needs.”

A. O. Smith is a family-founded business with 149 years of American manufacturing expertise. In 2022, A. O. Smith was named an ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year for the fourth consecutive year and received its second Sustained Excellence Award – an honor only a handful of water heating manufacturers have achieved.
