This is a unitary water heater, using HFO-1234yf #refrigerant, which has a GWP of <1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%2C3%2C3%2C3-Tetrafluoropropene

I haven't been able to find a local source, but it seems I can order it online and have it shipped for a plumber to install: https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/ge-profile-geospring-smart-hybrid-heat-pump-water-heater-80-gallon-120v-flexcapacity-ghro1041.html

Pros:

* Cools basement in summer

Cons:
* Cools basement in winter
* Resistance heat backup
