Heat Pump Water Heater

Hot Water at Your Fingertips

Replace your standard electric water heater with a more energy efficient heat pump water heater. An ENERGY STAR® heat pump water heater is more energy efficient because it uses less energy to heat water. A $400 rebate is available to Santee Cooper customers who purchase and install a heat pump water heater. Rebates are available for single-family and multifamily homes.
