These water heaters can be two to four times more energy efficient than a generic electric resistance water heater through capturing the environment’s ambient heat and raising the water temperature in the tank. While HPWHs are more expensive up front, they will generally cost the user less when compared to fossil fuel or resistance water heaters over 10 years. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>“The opportunities for co-ops to improve load profiles, save member-consumers’ money and build load through electrification of heating and water heating—the two largest sources of household energy demand—have improved significantly over the last decade.” </strong></p><p style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="sqsrte-large">- <a href="https://www.cooperative.com/topics/distributed-energy-resources/Pages/Promoting-Efficiency-and-Electrification-in-Home-Heating-and-Water-Heating.aspx" target="_blank">NRECA Report, 2020</a></p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </section> <section data-test="page-section" data-section-theme="bright-inverse" class='page-section layout-engine-section background-width--full-bleed section-height--small content-width--wide horizontal-alignment--center vertical-alignment--middle bright-inverse' data-section-id="61eecd072d3b9c7554ed2506" data-controller="SectionWrapperController" data-current-styles="{ "imageOverlayOpacity": 0.15, "backgroundWidth": "background-width--full-bleed", "sectionHeight": "section-height--small", "horizontalAlignment": "horizontal-alignment--center", "verticalAlignment": "vertical-alignment--middle", "contentWidth": "content-width--wide", "sectionTheme": "bright-inverse", "sectionAnimation": "none", "backgroundMode": "image" }" data-current-context="{ "video": { "playbackSpeed": 0.5, "filter": 2, "filterStrength": 0, "zoom": 0, "videoSourceProvider": "none" }, "backgroundImageId": null, "backgroundMediaEffect": null, "divider": null, "typeName": "page" }" data-animation="none" > <div class="section-border" > <div class="section-background"> </div> </div> <div class='content-wrapper' style=' ' > <div class="content" > <div class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-type="page-section" id="page-section-61eecd072d3b9c7554ed2506"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-7 span-7"><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="{"topLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"topRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0}}" id="block-71e6621ea003596ed284"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <h2 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Benefits to the Customer and the Utility</h2><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Advancements in residential water heaters are allowing customers and utilities to save money through high-efficiency technology and the integration of demand response networks. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">When equipped with<strong> smart controls</strong>, both heat pump water heaters and electric resistance can be leveraged by a utility as an additional grid resource.

However, controls have evolved from simple switches to more intelligent systems that offer more sophisticated controls to maximize cost savings. Demand response relies on tools and behavioral change to meet its goals, and coordinating the storage of heat energy through a network of residential water heaters can be one such tool. This improvement in sophisticated energy storage potential can benefit the customer and utility by allowing both parties to avoid times of peak demand. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As customers are educated as to how their subtle behavioral shift will adjust their time-of-use rate, utilities may expand their efforts into encouraging more smart home technologies. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Water heaters can complement other smart home appliances to shift even larger amounts of peak demand to non-peak times, which may also allow the utility to leverage excess renewable energy when wholesale power prices are low. </p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This smart and efficient use of energy may reduce the need for energy, emissions, and capital-intensive peaker plants that exist only to meet peaking demand.</p><h2 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">Water heater demand response efforts across 250 rural co-ops have <a href="https://www.naseo.org/Data/Sites/1/documents/2017-institute/nrecawaterheaterstudy.pdf" target="_blank">reduced demand by 500 megawatts</a>, saving more than $200 million. </h2><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Shift Time of Use</strong></p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Parts of the United States have expanded demand response programs due to peak constraints and high demand charges. While other parts of the country, such as the Pacific Northwest, were less concerned about peaking in the past, extreme weather events and a changing grid are demonstrating the importance for many areas to develop such programs. Water heaters are the simplest form of energy storage allowing a utility to reshape its load profile. While heat pump water heaters draw a lower amperage, they have a higher duty cycle and can also be used effectively to build demand response programs.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </section> <section data-test="page-section" data-section-theme="bright" class='page-section layout-engine-section background-width--full-bleed section-height--small content-width--wide horizontal-alignment--center vertical-alignment--middle bright' data-section-id="61eecd072d3b9c7554ed250a" data-controller="SectionWrapperController" data-current-styles="{ "imageOverlayOpacity": 0.15, "backgroundWidth": "background-width--full-bleed", "sectionHeight": "section-height--small", "customSectionHeight": 10, "horizontalAlignment": "horizontal-alignment--center", "verticalAlignment": "vertical-alignment--middle", "contentWidth": "content-width--wide", "customContentWidth": 50, "sectionTheme": "bright", "sectionAnimation": "none", "backgroundMode": "image" }" data-current-context="{ "video": { "playbackSpeed": 0.5, "filter": 1, "filterStrength": 0, "zoom": 0, "videoSourceProvider": "none" }, "backgroundImageId": null, "backgroundMediaEffect": null, "divider": null, "typeName": "page" }" data-animation="none" > <div class="section-border" > <div class="section-background"> </div> </div> <div class='content-wrapper' style=' ' > <div class="content" > <div class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-type="page-section" id="page-section-61eecd072d3b9c7554ed250a"><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12"><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-1 span-1 float float-left" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1647882131295_70638"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:574px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative;
