Designed to use one-third the electricity of traditional
residential electric water heaters, new product ensures dependable,
efficient hot-water delivery.
FOUNTAIN
VALLEY, Calif., July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Noritz America, a leader
in tankless water heaters and high-efficiency combination boilers,
recently previewed its new, ENERGY STAR-certified Hybrid Electric
Heat Pump Water Heater for residential domestic hot water
applications.
Making its debut in Chicago at
the 2024 AHR Expo in January, this newest addition to the Noritz
offering consumes up to one-third of the electricity required by a
standard residential electric water heater with a resistive
element, yet maintains the same level of hot-water delivery. The
"hybrid" designation denotes the inclusion of dual 4.5-kilowatt
electric elements positioned at the top and bottom of the tank to
provide backup water heating or accelerate recovery times when
necessary.
Set for an official launch on July
1, the new Hybrid Electric Heat Pump unit efficiently
transfers heat from air to water, resulting in substantial energy
savings for consumers seeking to reduce their utility bills. The
Hybrid Electric Heat Pump is eligible for government rebates of up
to $3,000, the kind of incentive that
has made heat pump installations so attractive for both contractors
and homeowners.
Handling hot water temperatures ranging from 50°F to 160°F, the
product will be available in four sizes, with the model numbers
here indicating the gallon storage volumes: (NHP50, NHP65, NHP80,
and NHP120). The 120-gallon model, still a rarity in today's
market, is available by special order. UEF (Uniform Energy Factor)
ratings range up to 3.48, highlighting its energy efficiency when
compared to similar products in the market.
"At Noritz, our dedication to providing our customers with
diverse water heating solutions drives our innovation," explains
Jason Fleming, Executive Vice
President and General Manager of Noritz America. "The introduction
of the Hybrid Electric Heat Pump not only addresses recent market
and regulatory shifts nationwide, but also offers a product
designed to save energy, lower maintenance and operating expenses
for customers, and streamline installations and servicing for
contractors."
Key Features
- Cement lining: The specially formulated cement lining of the
unit's storage tank is designed to prevent the corrosive effects of
hot water. By negating the need for a sacrificial anode rod, the
lining all but eliminates maintenance requirements and the
necessity for regular checks. (Neglecting to replace the anode rod
can lead to premature tank failure in a conventional electric water
heater.)
- Five operating modes: The Hybrid Electric Heat Pump offers
users five different ways to operate the unit, depending upon user
demand and current conditions: hybrid (standard), electric only,
heat pump only, super (for high-demand situations), and
vacation.
- First Hour Rating: The Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater's
first hour ratings are 58 gallons (NHP50), 70 gallons (NHP65), 86
gallons (NHP80), and 105 (NHP120).
- High-pressure rating: The unit has a pressure rating of 150
pounds per square inch (psi) WP and 300 psi TP. A temperature and
pressure relief valve comes with the unit, pre-installed.
- Warranties: The cement-lined tank and all parts are covered by
ten years of protection, plus a one-year warranty on reasonable
labor.
- Approvals include AHRI, UL1995, CSA 22.2 No. 236, Low
Lead.
