tankless water heater: recommend brands?
I'm considering an electric tankless water heater on a small cabin
serviced by a private well. There's a shower, a bathroom sink, a kitchen sink, a utility sink and a washing machine. Occupants: 1-2 unless the relatives figure out where the retreat is located. What brands are to be considered? To be avoided? I'm getting rid of the propane tank. Present water heater is a 40-gal Rheem electric on its way out. Thanks. |

Thanks. your going to HAVE to have a great electric supply for a tankless electric. check lowest winter water temperature. tankless very dependent on incoming water temp. figure at minimium a 100 amp just for tankless. then add your current service needs. call the local electric supplier, can they support 200 or 300 amps to your cabin? do realize with a tankless its ONE shower etc at a time, if anyone else runs hot water chill will be result. plus power failure means no hot water at all, currently you have a tanks worth. the necessary electric upgrades will exceed any tankless savings in standby losses. someone checked a electric tank in a vacant home, 3 bucks of electric monthly. thats a meaningless savings |
