Introduction to the AeroTherm® Series G2
Bradford White Water Heaters has launched a new line of residential hybrid electric heat pump water heaters called the AeroTherm® Series G2. This product represents the company’s most energy-efficient model to date, offering homeowners an innovative solution for managing energy use and utility costs.
The AeroTherm G2 combines traditional electric heating with advanced heat pump technology, providing a highly adaptable system that can help users reduce their annual energy expenses. Depending on the specific model, homeowners can save between $300 and $600 each year.
Key Features and Benefits
Louise Prader, Senior Director of Product Management at Bradford White, emphasized that the AeroTherm G2 is ideal for homeowners looking to better control their utility costs. She also noted that the unit’s high efficiency makes it an ENERGY STAR® certified solution, which can qualify users for rebates and other incentives.
One of the standout features of the G2 is its versatility. The system allows users to switch among five operational modes: heat pump only, electric only, hybrid standard, hybrid plus, and vacation. This flexibility enables homeowners to adjust the unit’s performance based on their specific needs and seasonal demands.
Advanced Technology and User Experience
A key innovation in the AeroTherm G2 is the ICON System® LED digital display. This interface supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and French Canadian, making it easier for both homeowners and professional installers to set up, customize, and troubleshoot the system.
Additionally, the unit includes built-in Bradford White Wave™ connectivity. This feature allows users to control settings remotely via a smartphone app, schedule heating cycles, and participate in utility demand response programs. Such capabilities enhance convenience and offer greater control over energy usage.
Installation and Design Improvements
In terms of installation, the AeroTherm G2 was designed with space efficiency in mind. Its compact design allows for placement in tight spaces, such as against walls or in corners, without requiring any clearance. This makes it an excellent option for homes with limited space.
Another notable improvement is the unit’s quiet operation, which enhances its suitability for residential environments. Homeowners can enjoy the benefits of efficient water heating without the noise typically associated with traditional systems.
Commitment to Innovation
At Bradford White, the development of the AeroTherm G2 reflects the company’s commitment to leveraging innovative technologies to deliver high-quality products. According to Prader, the second generation of the AeroTherm series is an ideal choice for customers who value flexibility, reliability, and energy conservation.
