GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon is a heat pump (hybrid electric) water heater from GREE with a 68 gallon rated tank and a 100 gallon first-hour rating at a 4.03 UEF — 1233 kWh/yr certified use, 76.1 in tall.
Our take
A 100-gallon first-hour rating — no other unit in the 65-gallon class reaches 90 — from 68 actual gallons and a 4.03 UEF at the 79th percentile, costing about $210 a year High-draw. The catch is stature: 76.1 inches, the tallest heat-pump water heater in this database, plus a 25.2-inch diameter, so it wants something close to an 8-foot ceiling once clearance is counted. R-32 refrigerant (GWP ~675) splits the difference between R-134a and CO₂. No connectivity; single badge; 240 V at 23.9 A with a 35.6 °F cutoff.
Best for: The biggest surge capacity in the class, if the ceiling allows.
Trade-off: Six feet four of heater — verify height before anything else.

Who is the GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon for?
Its 100 gallon first-hour rating suits a
household of 5+ people under DOE sizing guidance.
Estimated running cost: about $210/year at the national
average electricity rate (1233 kWh/yr certified use).
Needs a 240 V circuit; at 23.9 A max draw plan for a 30 A breaker (NEC 125% continuous-load rule).
The heat pump compressor operates down to 35.6 °F ambient — below that, backup
elements take over.
Is the GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon ENERGY STAR certified?
Yes, the GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon holds a current ENERGY STAR certification for water heating efficiency (UEF 4.03).
How much does the GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon cost to run per year?
About $210 per year at national average energy rates, based on its certified annual energy use under the DOE test draw pattern. Your rate and usage change this figure.
What electrical circuit does the GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon need?
The GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon runs on a 240 V circuit drawing up to 23.9 A; per the NEC 125% continuous-load rule plan for at least a 30 A breaker (check the installation manual for the required circuit).
Is the GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon a smart water heater?
No, the GREE GRS-3.0Pd/TD70GANhA-D 65-Gallon is not connected-capable — it has no app connectivity or demand-response support.
