This unit uses 550 watts when the unit is in eHeat Mode. The GE GeoSpring Hybrid Water Heater offers an easy to use control panel that makes operating and maintaining your hybrid water heater easier to understand. By following your on screen menu you can set the perfect water temperature and select the mode of operation as well. The operating modes are eHeat, Hybrid, Standard, Vacation and High Demand. While the water heater is in Hybrid, eHeat and High Demand settings the water will travel through the unit and come out of the back end of the unit. There is an air filter in place to protect the evaporator from dust and dirt. One of the safety features of the GE GeoSpring Hybrid Water Heater is the Dry Fire Process. The heating components in this water heater are designed to be fully functioning in water. As the heat builds up and the elements are not in water they may dry out. With this system the heat pump keeps track of the temperature in the tank and if the heat starts to rise the system will shut down and will alert the homeowner that water needs to be added. The hybrid heat pump system can be installed in dry and clean areas. The ideal location should be where the most demand of hot water is needed. With this heat pump you will not need an expansion tank unless it is required in your city, check the local building and plumbing codes. It is also recommended that the hybrid water heater have 240 square inch clearances with the vents.
