4. Your electricity is lower than what they assumed.
Of course you can get the heat pump water heater. If you do OP come back and share your experience.

Thanks. I was passing on information from a nationwide magazine and from the Department of Energy web site. I didn’t run the numbers for the climate zone. I realize that number of occupants and temperature of water going in and gallons of water heated and to what temperature matter a lot.
So your hot water is actually costing only $12 to $15 a month? In that case, there would be no need for this, and the dollar numbers on the yellow tags on appliances in stores are way off base. Again, thanks.
