Home & Garden Water Heating — 10 January 2011
No Freezing Showers with a Powerstar Electric Tankless Water Heater

Can you imagine how much electricity is used to keep heating the water in your hot water tank over and over? This is often the cause of high utility bills. Every time you use it, the tank has to refill and start the process all over again. There is a solution to those high bills and running out of hot water. A Powerstar electric tankless water heater will deliver hot water every time it is needed.

What is a Tankless Hot Water Heater?

How does this work, you might ask? For one, this water heater does not store hot water, which is one reason for your bills being higher. The typical hot water tank keeps water at a certain degree level depending upon what temperature it is set. When the temperature falls below this level, the hot water heater has to run to maintain the temperature.

A Powerstar electric tankless water heater does not heat the water until the hot water faucet is turned on. When the water begins flowing, it signals an element to heat the water as it goes through a heat exchanger. The positive effect of this is hot water whenever you need it.

Steady flowing hot water is perfect for the large family that runs out of hot water by the time the last couple of people get to the shower. The design of the tank is quite accommodating. It mounts to the wall rather than sitting in the floor. This system is so easy to set up that practically anyone could do it. They are simply hung on the wall, the water and the electrical connected and you are good to go.

The design is space saving so they are perfect for anywhere you want to use them. Businesses, apartments, homes, camps and anywhere else that you need access to hot water will allow the benefits of using this type of heater. The heat exchanger is solid copper and the fittings are made of brass for a long lasting system. There is an external control knob for the temperature.

There is never the problem of sediment build-up as there is with a typical hot water heater because this system does not store water. Two sizes are available. The AE 115, 80 amp supplies hot water at 2.3 gallons and the AE 125, 120 amp supplies 3.7 gallons, both with a 50 degree Fahrenheit rise. The price of the Powerstar electric tankless water heater depends upon which of the two you purchase, but it is not that expensive when considering the amount you will save on your power bills. This system will pay for itself in no time.

They come with a one year warranty on parts and a ten year warranty that covers the heat exchanger. If you are tired of running out of water in the middle of your shower, it may behoove you to consider a Powerstar electric tankless water heater. The convenience and savings will make the difference when you decide to change from your old tank type water heater to a tankless power saving water heater.
