Since 2011, NEEA has worked to transform the water heating market by addressing key barriers to the adoption of HPWHs for emergency and planned replacements in single-family homes.

The program collaborates nationally and regionally to promote product innovation, improve performance standards, and increase consumer and contractor awareness. By working upstream with manufacturers, supporting supply chain training, and shaping specifications and test procedures, the program helps ensure HPWH technology meets varying consumer needs, including those across cold climates and challenging installation conditions.
