Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 Trend Whole House Electric Tankless Water Heater - 239216

We are very satisfied with our tankless water heater!

A year ago we purchased a new home. I asked the contractor to install a tankless water heater. He installed an electric A O Smith tank unit instead and claimed that he researched tankless units and that they could not keep up with the volume of hot water our three person family would need. We live in a community that provides treated well water. After a year our hot water smelled strongly of sulfer. We were told that the diode in our tank would have to be changed either with a very expensive diode or with the standard one but done annually. Unfortunately A O Smith installs the diode's with a robot or a person that is determined that it would never come out. Removal attempts turned the bolt into a perfectly round piece. It is sunk 6" into the tank which prevents use of a pipe wrench. A new water heater was required or we had to live with the smell. I did my own research and determined that this 2400w tankless unit should provide all of the hot water our family would ever need. I purchased it from Zoro on a Friday and it was on our porch on Sunday when we got home from church. I spent the day replacing the unit. The tankless works great. We are very pleased with it. We have a large tub in our master bath that would only fill half way before the water in the 40 gallon tank model turned cold. The tankless unit stays hot until you turn it off.j The bonus is this takes up only a fraction of the room that the old unit required.
