- infecto 2y agoThey definitely exist. I never had one and my understand it was they are generally not as great as the gas equivalent. https://www.supplyhouse.com/Tankless-Water-Heaters-1060000 https://www.supplyhouse.com/Tankless-Water-Heaters-1060000
- Symbiote 2y agoThe cheap ones are fairly common in Britain where the user isn't choosing (student houses, cheap rentals etc). The installation cost is low, but the running cost is high. They are crap. 8kW is typical, and the pressure for a reasonable water temperature is low. I haven't knowingly used a more powerful one. I suspect that would negate the cheap installation cost, as it would need a three phase circuit.
- bokohut 2y agoYes, You can buy an electric tankless but just be extremely informed of the large amperage requirement to instantly heat your selected gallons per minute flow.
- kccqzy 2y agoYeah you can find them on the Home Depot site. The largest ones use 36kW which is beyond a typical residence's electrical service. It doesn't save you any money if you need to upgrade your electric service. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem-Performance-36-kw-Self-Modulating-7-03-GPM-Tankless-Electric-Water-Heater-RETEX-36/300800822 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem-Performance-36-kw-Self-Mod...
