Voltex is a hybrid electric water heater that integrates heat pump technology to make it more than twice as efficient as a standard tank. The unit operates like an air conditioner in reverse, pulling heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the tank. It costs about $200 per year to operate, the company says. A.O.
