Rheem Heat Pump Water Heater in San Jose, CA
In April 2026, Upgrade Home Services replaced an older water heater in a San Jose, CA home with a new Rheem heat pump water heater. The old unit was worn and no longer gave steady hot water. We updated all connections to code, leaving a cleaner, more efficient and more dependable setup.
What did the homeowner need?
The home’s older water heater was no longer meeting its hot water needs. It showed signs of wear and reduced performance, which led to higher energy use and inconsistent hot water.
What did we remove and install?
- Removed the outdated water heater.
- Installed a new Rheem heat pump water heater, known for its energy efficiency and reliable performance. A heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into the water, instead of burning gas.
- Updated all connections and brought them up to code, for safety and a longer system life.
What was the result?
The result is a cleaner setup, better efficiency and a more dependable hot water supply for the homeowner. See the before-and-after photos for the difference a modern heat pump water heater makes.
