how lifetime savings is calculated

Lifetime Project Investment and Lifetime Return Savings calculations are based on project cost (product + installation costs) of two 50-gallon PDV models compared to one Maximus model, minus estimated tax credits and rebates. Includes replacement costs of two 50-gallon PDV models at year 7 to match a 12-year warranty period. Installation costs are estimated and may vary based on specific application and region. Estimated federal tax credit is calculated as 30% of project cost up to $600. Default water heater prices do not include tax or delivery fees. Rheem is not responsible for tax and rebate filing. Consult with a tax advisor and local utility for complete filing and eligibility requirements. Calculations are directional only based on specific installation scenarios. For more accurate project costs consult with your local plumbing professional.
