Rheem HPWH energy use in off mode?
Posted On: September 6, 2023
We recently installed a Rheem ProTerra HPWH, replacing a propane fired water heater.
It works fine, but I'm trying to understand an oddity in the EcoNet history reporting.
We have the schedule set to heat (on Energy Saver mode) from 4 AM to 7 AM.
The other three time bands, it's set to "off".
The dd thing is that the energy monitor shows small demand spikes (about 100 Wh) every 3-4 hours, even though the unit should be off.
Is this just the cost of running the software and networking, and the minimum reporting unit is 0.
1 kWh?
BTW, our daily consumption is reported around 1.
5 kWh/day for a 65 gallon unit set at 125 degrees.
It's in a 2 car garage, next to the kitchen, and the noise has been negligible.
Question from user Speaker_Chance at heatpumps at reddit.
Answer:
I just use temperature levels to try to guide the system.
The software is really terrible.

To whom it may concern, I recently had TwinTech (Greg and Grant Dainty) replace my furnace and service both my gas fireplaces and air conditioning unit. They were professional, courteous and very fair in their pricing. I would gladly recommend TwinTech to anyone needing work done. I can be contacted at 905-626-XXXX.

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment
