GE Profile Heat Pump 65-Gallon (PH65S10BNY01) is a heat pump (hybrid electric) water heater from GE Profile with a 65 gallon rated tank and a 86 gallon first-hour rating at a 4.3 UEF — 1154 kWh/yr certified use, 47.5 in tall.
Our take
Joint holder of the 65-gallon class efficiency ceiling: 4.30 UEF, certified High-draw at 1,154 kWh — about $196 a year, cheaper than the class median while delivering the heavier test load, and roughly $740 under a standard electric tank. The 86-gallon first-hour rating is second in the cohort only to its own BPY sibling and the GREE tower. Compact 47.5-inch height, R-1234yf ultra-low-GWP refrigerant, 471% recovery, app connectivity, 240 V / 23 A. GE Profile badge only. The certified spec sheet simply has no soft spot.
Best for: The efficiency-per-delivered-gallon benchmark of the 65-gallon class.
Trade-off: One badge, so price relief must come from rebates rather than rebrands.
