b'PORTLAND, Ore., May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced its support of a new nationwide campaign to drastically cut carbon emissions and energy use from heating water with advanced heat pump technology.
The Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI) will work nationally to drive increased manufacturing, sales, installations, and operation of heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) across the United States.
By choosing cleaner, more energy efficient HPWHs, U.S. households would save nearly 100 million tons of carbon emissions and enough energy to power 25 million homes each year.
"\nThe Advanced Water Heating Initiative (AWHI) is working to transform the water heater market and install clean, energy-efficient heat pump water heaters in all buildings across the United States.

A major equipment failure could lead to extensive water damage, sky-high utility bills and emergency plumbing service, which can be disruptive and expensive.\n"For many people, the home water heater is out of sight, out of mind," said Ted Puzio, owner of Southern Trust Home Services.

Key Points:

A major equipment failure could lead to extensive water damage, sky-high utility bills and emergency plumbing service, which can be disruptive and expensive.\n"For many people, the home water heater is out of sight, out of mind," said Ted Puzio, owner of Southern Trust Home Services.
"They don\'t think about it until it breaks down, and then they\'re facing a potentially catastrophic situation.
One reason homeowners put off installing a new water heater is that they expect a long, drawn-out process that turns their house upside down.
"\nIn addition to regular professional maintenance, Puzio recommends homeowners familiarize themselves with their water heater and monitor for any signs of excessive wear, including unusual noises, leaks, higher than usual water bills or visible corrosion.\nAge is another important factor.

The additional credit offered by True Home is meant to help offset the higher cost of installation to help make the technology more affordable.\n"Climate change is an imminent threat for people around the world.
