    "Hybrid" heat pump water heater recommendations

    I installed the 80 gallon Rheem Hybrid a couple weeks ago and so far I'm really happy with it. We haven't ran out of Hot Water yet, even with my wife taking long hot showers. The only thing I have to say is that it really does put out a lot of cold air. It's dropped the temperature in that...
