Eco-Logical OMNI-80HP2-1A 80-Gallon is a heat pump (hybrid electric) water heater from Eco-Logical with a 74 gallon rated tank and a 82 gallon first-hour rating at a 4.11 UEF — 1206 kWh/yr certified use, 73.4 in tall.
Our take
A 92nd-percentile UEF of 4.11 — about $205 a year — from a split system whose compressor is rated to 5 °F, with a notably slim 18.5-inch indoor tank. The certified compromises: a 73.4-inch tower (fourth-tallest in the class) and an 82-gallon first-hour rating 6 under the median, so it favors efficiency over surge. Draws 19.8 A on a 25 A breaker, lighter than the class norm; R-513A refrigerant at less than half R-134a's GWP; connected-capable. Single badge. For a cold garage with a tall ceiling, the shortlist is short and this is on it.
Best for: Cold-climate efficiency in a narrow, tall footprint.
Trade-off: Sub-median first-hour delivery and 6-plus feet of height.
