As mentioned in a previous post, MACED's Energy Efficient Enterprises Team will host a "Lunch and Learn" workshop, focusing on efficiency opportunities in the water heating and space heating. One of the featured technologies will be GE’s GeoSpring heat pump water heater, recently added to the state’s list of approved products for the federally funded Weatherization Assistance Program.
According to The Courier-Journal, the state recently purchased over 115 of these models, which reportedly use 62% less electricity than regular electric tank water heaters, for the Weatherization program.
