Wow man maybe it’s because I had to do a whole rip job on my heater? I sunk $20k into my heating and cooling system this year. Was a fuckin nightmare. Maybe if you’re going whole cloth the savings show up more?
Comment on Heat-pump water heaters are a winner for the climate — and your wallet

I’m in the market for a water heater in Ohio. The cheapest heat pump water heater I could find is more than twice the price of a typical NG heater. Where are you finding them for anything remotely close to the same price?
One important thing to note: heat pump water heaters take heat from the house and put it into the water. In an Ohio winter, that might not be desirable: you’re paying for the heat from the furnace, then paying for the same heat again into the tank.

You’re talking about HVAC while everyone else is talking about water heaters. I think it’s pretty well demonstrated that heat pumps for HVAC are the way to go but not for heating water.

That makes sense.

There’s a federal tax credit worth 2k for HPWH. I’m not aware of any Ohio specific subsidies, although there are programs coming through the IRA that are run through the states and will offer more incentives.

Up to* $2k. Just for the sake of clarity.
The tax credit 30% of the total project price, up to $2k. If the HPWH is over double the cost of NG, you’re still paying quite a bit more even with the tax credit.
