Continued field testing of the first combined space and water heaters developed for the U.S. market. A combined appliance offers the efficiency of a heat pump water heater (HPWH) and ductless heat pump in a single product, overcoming certain HPWH barriers such as indoor space limitations. NEEA is providing test data and customer feedback directly to the manufacturer and informing product development in real-time. The first commercially available product is expected to enter the market in late 2015.
