These kinds of progressive grants tax breaks for home improvements make a real difference.

I had that in my cart yesterday ready to check out, then I read reviews sorted recent first... Seems that QC and longevity is lacking.
The shitty part is, it's almost cheaper than a good conventional heater after the rebates.

My Richmond has worked perfect since install 2 months ago.

The propane never gets fired up anymore.

Looks like Rheem manufactures Richmond?
If the heat pump unit / electronics were to fail would the heating elements still function?

I kind of regret not ordering but they go on sale at least once a month as a HD deal of the day, along with mini splits.

I had bad luck with a GE Geothermal HPWH six years ago. GE eventually sold that business and service was lacking. I havebut have put it three Rheems or Ruuds which are esssentially the same company and they have done well.

I figure at under $540 it is worth the risk. I also got the 5-year extended warranty through HD for $75 for some additional protection. All in with everything I need to install this including electrical addition it will be under $800.
