In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
One of the best ways you can save on your energy bills is to invest in a tankless water heater. Why? There’s no reason to keep a tank full of hot water sitting around at all times like with traditional systems. These machines heat water right at the source. We researched some of the best rated electric tankless water heaters to put together this information for you. First, let’s take a look at the key features to remember.
Power: The power of these product varies a little bit. Some are specifically meant for heating water to the source while some can provide hot water for your whole house. The voltage of these machines ranges from 120 to 240.
Kilowatts: A watt is a measure of power and a kilowatt is simply 1000 watts. The amount of power each of these machines has to actually heat up the water varies a lot, from 7.2 to 27 watts.
Digital Display: A digital display is definitely not necessary for these machines to run effectively, but it is one way to make them a lot more convenient. Adjusting is effortless and you can make accurate readings from a further distance.
Self-Modulating: If a tankless water heater is self-modulating, all that means is that it as a sensor that helps monitor the energy needed to heat up the water. This is one way to make sure that machine is running as efficiently as possible.
Size: You might be surprised to find out exactly how small some of these units are. Make sure you check the dimensions after you figure out where you’re going to install it just to be on the safe side.
