Get pumped for a heat pump water heater!

Most existing homes in the San Francisco Bay Area have water heaters that run on natural gas. Gas water heaters are typically a home’s single biggest source of emissions that are damaging to air quality and the environment. Silicon Valley Clean Energy is offering rebates to our single-family and multi-family household customers to upgrade their water heaters to be clean and electric.

What is so special about a Heat Pump Water Heater?

Typical water heaters burn fossil fuels to warm water – but that is old news.  Heat Pump Water Heaters move heat from one place to another to warm water. Why is that so cool (pun intended)?  By moving existing heat, Heat Pump Water Heaters use clean electricity and are highly efficient, instead of burning natural gas, which pollutes homes and the environment.

As a customer of Silicon Valley Clean Energy, your new heat pump water heater will provide hot water to your sinks, showers and washing machines using electricity from carbon-free sources. Overall, this technology saves energy, improves safety and adds comfort!
