GE GeoSpringTM Water Heater GEH50DEEDSC Review

I replaced our 13 y/o, 50 gallon propane water heater that was probably installed back when propane cost $1/gallon. At today's propane prices over $3/gallon, our old water heater still had the sticker that said it used 300 gallons/year. That's at least $900/year right now.

The GEOSPRING's government energy tag says it will uses under $200/year worth of electricity at our rate of $0.105/KWh. That's tested in hybrid mode at 135F too. If you can get by with a lower temp or less demand where you use heat pump only mode you will save a bit more.

I bought it on sale and I bought an extended warranty just in case issues pop up given that this is a relatively new design, but I expect it to pay for itself in 18 months or better.

It's fairly quiet and smooth in heat pump mode and the numbers (6000 btu) tell me it will raise the 50 gallons of water about 14 degrees F/hour using only the heat pump yet pulling under 600W of electricity. Using only the heat pump it definitely takes some time to recover from any significant use. If you run in hybrid mode and use a lot of water - more than one bath or shower consecutively - it will kick on the 4500W (15000 btu) standard element and your 50 gallons will gain about 36 degrees F/hour, recovering quickly but pulling much more power. It seems to be very well insulated - the outside metal is not even warm when water is 135F.

This water heater requires a supply of air that is about 50 degrees F or better to use the heat pump. The best place for a heat pump water heater is probably the garage in a moderate climate. It will dehumidify and cool your garage when it runs. You really don't want to have it working against your furnace in the winter, so a separate air space from your living area is key to getting the full benefit of the heat pump.

If you've always run propane not electric water heat, you may need to add a 30A 220V circuit to its location, and regardless you'll need a place to drain condensation from the evaporator. It can't live in a closet without making some ventilation accommodations. Otherwise it's not much different from replacing any water heater.
