Biden admin cracks down on another popular home appliance

The Biden administration is moving forward with new energy efficiency regulations, this time targeting water heaters in an effort to curb emissions and reduce energy use.

I have a condensing gas tankless water heater and I’m happy with it. I do not think you should be forced into it and I bought it because I have teenagers and figured it was worth it for me.

we need to move to all electric .. the most inefficient water heater ..


i notice there only comparing to older electric water heaters .. LOL ..

"Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. Therefore, they can be two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters. To move the heat, heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse."


when winter time i take my window AC units and place them in the middle of the room ..
during winter its gets really cold so the AC sucks up the cold and the condenser heats the room ..

Heat Pump Water Heaters

If you live in a warm place, a heat pump might be your ticket to lower energy bills.

I was thoroughly lectured on how heat pumps just do not work well in CNY climates from a reputable HVAC company, and how new refrigerants like R-32/R-454B are much more inefficient versus something like R-410a and older.

Along with their concerns about making sure my house had heat during power outages, because I have my furnace portion on my generator.

So I was sold a 97% efficient dual burner gas (propane is what I use) furnace, and a R-410a A/C condensing system package.

It is an upgrade from a 94% efficiency from 2002.

Very happy with the furnace and A/C package. Very glad I was talked out of going "green".

So lets see... so far to recap... I went against those communist bastards this year by: Buying a diesel truck, a gas furnace, R-410a condensing package, burning lots of wood, and buying a gas push mower.

I really want to convert my electric water heater to gas, just to be a dick. I want to go backwards even if it costs me money.

What ever.

I'm planning on adding a 2nd electric water heater in the near future.
The new one will heat the water from 52* ; the average temperature of ground water , up to 100* and hold it there
The 2nd heater, the older of the 2, will go fromm 100 uo to 125/130.
We had that setup when we farmed, although with 50 gal heaters.
Had 50 gallons of 130* + water constantly

So with 40 gal heaters the same is possible, almost never ending hot water.

Biden.....suck my balls......
