General Electric (GE) is re-entering the heat pump water heater (HPWH) market with a fourth-generation product that introduces significant technological advancements. GE was an early pioneer in HPWHs, launching the Geospring model in 2008 shortly after ENERGY STAR certification for such products began. After selling its HPWH line to Bradford White in 2015 and exiting the market, GE has spent years researching and developing innovations to address common challenges in HPWH technology. This new model marks GE’s return with features designed to improve efficiency, convenience, and performance. Key innovations include a dual-voltage design that allows the unit to operate on both 120-volt and 240-volt electricity, making it versatile for different household electrical setups. This feature enables easier replacement of gas or electric water heaters without immediate rewiring, facilitating a smoother transition to heat pump technology. Another major advancement is the integrated electronic mixing valve, which allows the water heater to store water at temperatures up to 160°F
