What about a unit that does both and costs less? Here's where the savings are — a hybrid water heater costs less than $200 a year to operate and it has a built-in dehumidifier for your basement, with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. It also uses your standard 240-volt power from your existing water heater.

Does your standard electrical waterheater do all this? The answer is no. If you have a standard electric water heater this is the time to consider changing over before the federal government takes away all the rebates.
