GE Introduces Smart Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater
GE Profile’s new GEOSPRING Smart Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater utilizes advanced heat pump technology to provide more energy efficiency than standard electric water heaters. Smart features through the SmartHQ app give owners total control, enabling them to monitor energy usage and costs, adjust temperature and capacity and set custom schedules. A Wi-Fi-enabled sensing anode rod alerts owners when replacement is needed.
The GE Profile GEOSPRING is equipped with wireless leak detection and smart valve shutoff, saving homeowners from potential water damage. Built-in demand response capabilities facilitate communication with utility companies to optimize energy use when rates are lowest, and act as a thermal battery, heating water during off-peak hours.
The heat pump water heater is available in 240- and 120-volt options to fit a variety of installation requirements. The 120-volt option also allows it to be plugged into a standard outlet, creating more flexible location opportunities for installation and can be an ideal replacement for owners converting from gas to electric.
