Sunset date 
Dec 31, 2024

Heat pump water heaters save energy by using ambient heat to raise the temperature of water, rather than relying solely on electric resistance heat such as with a conventional electric storage water heater.  This measure applies specifically to consumer heat pump water heaters replacing electric storage water heaters in commercial buildings.
