Water Heating
What is it?
Installing a high efficiency water heating system at your site is a great way to save energy. This program helps identify for customers the heat recovery units and heat pump water heaters that will generate optimum savings.
How does it work?
- Commercial Heat Recovery: New heat recovery units must be rated at the current ARI standard 470 with a minimum recovery rate of 2,000 Btu per ton and must operate during peak demand hours (which vary by season).
- Commercial Heat Pump Water Heater: Also subject to seasonal demand hours, the system must be electric and meet ARI performance standards, ASHRAE standards, have a minimum coefficient of performance of 3.0 and be based on 120 degree (or greater) leaving water temperature.
