I installed the Rheem Proterra HYBRID ELECTRIC WATER HEATER (https://homedepot.sjv.io/rnn9Wv) the prestige series in a day and have captured a few things you need to know before you attempt this install and talk about the real cost savings picture for these water heaters.
I'm going to show you how I snagged an amazing deal including rebates, how I installed it, how to set it up, a huge mistake I made that you're not going to want to miss, and finally, a look to see if there's massive cost savings with these new heaters.
