(Long-Term Savings, Eco – Friendly)
A Rheem hybrid electric water heater combines energy-saving heat pump technology with smart features for reliable, efficient hot water. Jake Miller Plumbing installs these systems to fit your household’s needs—and keeps ownership simple with expert advice and fair pricing.
What Makes Hybrid Heaters Different?
Unlike conventional tanks, hybrid water heaters pull heat from the surrounding air to warm your water. This heat pump technology significantly cuts energy use—especially in warm or semi-conditioned spaces like garages or utility rooms.
These systems still include an electric element for quick recovery when needed, giving you both efficiency and performance.

Tankless Water Heater FAQs
How is a hybrid water heater different from tank and tankless systems?
A hybrid water heater combines the storage capacity of a traditional tank with the energy-saving technology of a heat pump. Unlike tank heaters, which constantly reheat water, hybrids pull warmth from the surrounding air to heat water efficiently. And while tankless units heat water on demand without storing it, hybrids offer a full tank of hot water ready to go—making them ideal for households wanting lower energy bills without sacrificing volume or comfort. It’s a smart upgrade, especially for all-electric homes.
Does a hybrid water heater need special wiring?
It uses a standard 240V electric supply but we’ll verify amperage and breaker size before install.
Is a hybrid water heater loud?
Not at all. Rheem’s models operate quietly—many compare it to the hum of a refrigerator.
Can I monitor it from my phone?
Yes. With EcoNet® you can check energy use, adjust modes, and get alerts—all from your phone.
