“This partnership with Habitat for Humanity Canada allows us to make a meaningful difference at both the community and household levels,” said Frank Windsor, president, Rinnai America Corp. “By supplying our newest generation of heat-pump water heaters to these projects, we’re helping families create a healthier way of living and the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable and efficient home, while advancing sustainable housing solutions that align with Canada’s energy future.”

Rinnai’s donation will help offset the cost of local Habitat projects.

“Partnerships like this are essential to our work,” said Pedro Barata, president and CEO, Habitat for Humanity Canada. “By working with innovative companies like Rinnai, we’re able to install energy-efficient systems in Habitat homes that ultimately lower energy use and cut utility costs for homeowners, helping to ensure that the homes we build will remain affordable for years to come.”

Boasting a 4.0 uniform energy factor (UEF), the REHP uses advanced heat-pump technology to deliver reliable hot water while reducing energy use by up to 60% compared to conventional electric models, the press release said. Its compact, zero-clearance design also installs easily in tight spaces, making it ideal for multi-unit and affordable-housing developments.

“We’re proud to support Habitat for Humanity construction teams with an easy-to-install, zero-emissions water heater that brings homeowners lasting peace of mind,” said Daniel Zrubak, general manager, Rinnai Canada.
