Reservoir Home
Reservoir exists to make home electrification easy, affordable, and awesome.
We are starting with hot water because it's the fastest way to make the biggest impact on home energy, resource use, and safety.
Thanks to Volts and David Roberts for having Reservoir CEO Luke Winston-Almanzar on this week to get nerdy about heat pumps, plumbing, and home energy!

One of the Reservoir team members woke up to this in their basement.
It could have been a lot worse. This is almost the best-case scenario when a water heater breaks: caught quickly, only one shallow puddle, no possessions damaged.
If nobody had gone into the basement that morning, this home could have had inches of standing water, and all the attendant damage, until the next time someone happened to go downstairs.
No shade to the manufacturer of this water heater - it was installed in 2010, and simply past the end of its useful life. But Reservoir is built (with active corrosion control and on-device leak sensors) so this doesn't happen.
(Fun fact: this water heater is so small because it's dedicated for a laundry machine and utility sink shared by multiple units!)

Reservoir won at the Consortium for Energy Efficiency Integrated Home Competition! 🏅
CEE evaluates connected home products against four criteria:
1) Energy efficiency
2) Demand flexibility
3) Consumer amenity
4) Security
The judges particularly liked Reservoir's integrated recirculation pump, home protection features, and strong warranty.
Proud of our humble water heater!

That's a wrap on the US Heat Pump Summit! So great to spend a full two days with heat pump contractors, experts, and evangelists.

A new Canary Media piece on the state of heat-pump water heaters features a Reservoir customer who put words to a frustration a lot of homeowners run into:
"I didn't want to be a project manager."
That's what it's like coordinating different contractors, getting separate quotes, pulling separate permits, all for one appliance. We're building Reservoir to make it easy to go electric: one price and one installation for one appliance.

Can you tell what building type this is from the photo?
Hint: One basement with three working water heaters in eastern MA.
..yep, it's a triple-decker. One building, three households, three separate systems, three separate bills.
Reservoir is well-suited to multi-family buildings like this, even if you live on the third floor. You can monitor and control it from your phone, so you don't have to trek down to the basement to check on it, and the Reservoir Max's integrated recirculation pump means you get steamy hot water as soon as you turn on the tap.

Laminar Collective, a research group that covers heat pumps in Boston, put the Reservoir Core through its paces and wrote up their thoughts, summed up with: "Reservoir is a solid entry. So we’re going to keep on installing them."
Laminar's research is meticulous and honest, and we're proud to have them as a partner. Link to the review in comments.

If your old water heater is electric, you're probably overpaying to heat water.
If you have an electric resistance water heater and pay 30 cents per kWh for electricity (typical in MA), you could save so much on your electric bill that it covers the entire monthly cost of a 0% interest loan through Mass Save's HEAT Loan program.
It sounds too good to be true, but we did the math. Link in comments.

Quieter than having the windows open four floors above an empty parking lot at 8:30 AM.
