Are you looking for a way to improve your hot water delivery system and still save money every month on your utility costs? Do you need an electric water heater because of a lack of a natural gas hookup? Then the Ecosmart ECO27 electric tankless water heater could be the perfect solution to meet your needs today. You’ll never run out of hot water once this unit is installed and it can save up to 60% on water heating costs. All of this comes for a price under $500, which is competitive to traditional tank-based systems as well.
Do You Really Never Run Out of Hot Water?
The Ecosmart ECO27 really is one of the best tankless solutions on the market today because you really won’t run out of hot water. It offers an exclusive incremental heating system that allows users to alter the temperature by just a degree if necessary while it self-regulates itself to maintain the dictated temperature. The end result is better hot water delivery, more utility savings, and a low maintenance system.
Here are some of the additional features that some may find to be useful with the Ecosmart ECO27 as well.
- It can provide up to 70 degrees of temperature difference at 3 GPM, making it perfect for northern climates where tap water may reach temperatures of 37F.
- This unit is able to hand up to 6 gallons per minute, which allows for 4 faucets to be used without running out of hot water.
- Hooked up to a jacuzzi or hot tub, it will provide precise temperature controls to maintain the proper environment.
To install this unit, you’re going to need three 40A breakers. You’ll also want to install this unit as close to an electrical box as possible. The end results, however, are that even large homes of 3,500 square feet or more can have continuous hot water thanks to the Ecosmart ECO27.
Why Choose the Ecosmart ECO27 today?
The reason why hot water heaters cost so much to operate annually is because they are constantly heating the water in their tanks so that it is ready for use. The Ecosmart ECO27 provides hot water on demand instead by feeding the water through a heated element. This means when you don’t need hot water, your hot water heater isn’t running. It does usually require a 200 amp service, so some homes may need an upgrade, so be sure to speak with your utility agency about local service before purchase.
Some users have noted that the on/off functionality of this water heater can sometimes malfunction. If that happens, then the water may continue to heat in the pipe until it is used because the equipment is essentially never turning off. Some users have noted that LED lights flicker when the unit is in use as well.
At this price point, however, a whole home tankless solution for hot water of this quality is difficult to find. The Ecosmart ECO27 is a good value and for most homeowners, is going to be a good investment to make.
