Does Anyone Know Of An Electric Water Heater That Will Qualify For The Federal Tax Credit?
I need to buy a new water heater and it has to be electric. The way I am reading the requirements to be eligible for a tax credit, the electric water heater has to have an Energy Factor of 2.0 or greater. I’m not finding any electric water heaters with an Energy Factor above 0.98 though. Any specific brands and model numbers of a qualifying electric water heater will be greatly appreciated.

I couldn’t find any, either. Nor could I find any tankless water heaters that are energy star compliant, so there goes that theory. If you can’t meet the federal requirement, check with your municipality and state. Many have rebate programs of their own that will gain you real dollars instead of a tax credit.

Doesn’t exist… You might try tankless water heater – they are very energy efficient (water conserving too) but quite pricey….http://www.heater-store.com/bosch-powers…

There is no electric water heater that qualifies for government grants. From the electric water heating appliances, electric heat pumps are the only one eligible for this credit.
