[quote=Anonymous]We have solar panels and switched to a heat pump hot water heater when our standard one was getting old. It does use less electricity (we tracked and saw our monthly electric usage go down). The bonus is that its in the basement and helps dehumidify -- so much so that we could stop using a basement dehumidifier. Downside is that it takes longer to heat up when the hot water runs low, so if you have a house full of people who like long, hot showers every day around the same time, it may not be best for you or you may need to size up. FYI: I live on Cape Cod. If you live in a very cold climate (northern states, Canada?) and its located in an unheated basement, it may not work well for you as it will take longer to heat up. Overall, we're happy with it.[/quote]
