Hot WaterA category from your Ciel audit report
Hot water is a big share of your energy bill. Make it the efficient share.
After heating and cooling, nothing in your home uses more energy than your water heater. If yours is more than ten years old, you are likely paying a premium for every shower, and living one cold morning away from an emergency replacement. Upgrading on your schedule, with incentives, is the better path.
What we install
Heat pump water heaters
The most efficient water heaters made. Because they move heat instead of generating it, they can use a fraction of the electricity of a conventional electric unit, depending on placement and usage. They qualify within Whole Home projects, and utility Building Decarbonization programs may add a further rebate, such as $750 through JCP&L Clean Comfort.
Tankless on demand systems
Endless hot water that is heated only when you use it, in a compact wall mounted unit. Excellent for gas homes and busy households.
High efficiency tank and indirect systems
Modern gas storage units, and indirect fired tanks that pair with a high efficiency boiler to make hot water at boiler efficiency.
Replace it before it replaces itself
Most water heaters fail without warning, often with a flooded basement as the announcement. Replacing a unit past its expected life on your own schedule means you choose the technology, capture the incentives, and skip the emergency premium. Your audit includes an honest assessment of your water heater's remaining life.
Incentives for water heating upgrades
Water heating upgrades installed within a Whole Home Energy Solutions project count toward up to $7,500 in cash back incentives and up to $25,000 in 0% financing repaid through your utility bill. Heat pump water heaters may earn additional rebates through your utility's Building Decarbonization program. Your audit report shows your exact numbers before you decide anything.

Recommended by measurement, not by markup
Ciel Power is a BPI GoldStar contractor, a four time ENERGY STAR Contractor of the Year, and a PSE&G Top 10 Contractor. Your water heater recommendation comes from your audit data, your fuel, and your household's usage, not from whatever is on the truck.
Frequently asked questions
Are heat pump water heaters noisy or cold?
They produce about as much sound as a modern refrigerator and release cool, dehumidified air where they sit, which most basements appreciate. Placement matters, and we plan it during your audit.
Tank or tankless?
Tankless suits gas homes that value endless hot water and space savings. Heat pump units win on pure efficiency. Your usage patterns and fuel decide, and we will walk you through it without a sales agenda.
How efficient are heat pump water heaters really?
They move heat rather than generating it, so depending on placement and household usage they can use a half to a third of the electricity of a conventional electric unit. Your audit report models the numbers for your home rather than quoting a generic percentage.
What incentives apply?
Water heating upgrades count toward Whole Home rebates of up to $7,500 plus 0% financing, and heat pump water heaters may earn an additional rebate through your utility's Building Decarbonization program, such as $750 through JCP&L Clean Comfort. Your report itemizes what your project qualifies for.
How long does installation take?
Most water heater installations are completed in a single day.
