The Biden administration is proposing new energy-efficiency standards for water heaters, aiming to save consumers $11.4 billion annually on energy and water bills. The standards require electric water heaters with heat pump technology and gas heaters with condensing technology. While supporters see long-term savings, critics argue about the upfront costs and their impact on consumer choices. Rinnai, a tankless water heater manufacturer, has expressed concerns about the proposed standards.
