I've had this for 10 months (updated: 2 years now) and it's worked great. I have really high powered water pressure in the showers here, and sometimes also am running a laundry washer and sink. I tried running the washer on Hot, then I turned on 1 sink and both showers to very hot and they all had plenty of hot water. It was pretty easy to set up. While their disclaimer says that you need to have a licensed electrician install it to get the warranty, over the phone 2 people there explained that it's fine for a handyman to set it up, and that they will still honor the warranty as long as the problem clearly is not due to bad installation. In other words, if the problem is due to poor installation, then obviously they won't want to send you a new one. That's more than fair and means that you can save a lot of money having your handyman do it if he has electrical experience. I spoke to some people who said that most companies will put that a licensed person is required to install it for liability purposes to protect themselves. In real life, Ecosmart will cover it even if a non-licensed person installs it. Just write their name and phone number on the warranty registration card and send it in. Also, though their site says (I think from memory) that it needs 120 amps total, we asked them if putting it on a 100 amp subpanel would be enough, and they said yes, and we did that and it's fine. I was told by a number of people that if you put it on a 100 amp subpanel and for some reason it gets more than 100 amps, all it does is switch the subpanel off. That's the point of a subpanel. It makes it so only 100 amps can reach your main panel. So even with 2 showers, a large washer and a sink going, it didn't go over 100 amps. And my showers have great water pressure, so it probably would be like 3 showers in most houses. I only have 150 amps total, and everything has worked great. I found customer service great to work with. If you have a tech question, ask them if you can speak to one of their technical people. They were happy to help me figure it out. The price for this was much lower than other places I researched, and not much more than a tank. I've saved a lot of money on my energy bills as it only heats up water when you need it. I think the savings will pay for the difference in 1 year, and after that it's extra money in my pocket every month. I believe Amazon was a little cheaper than getting it directly through them but check because that could change over time of course. Also, it doesn't take more than about 10 seconds longer to get hot water than with my tank. With a tank, the water in your pipes cools off, so 90% of the wait for hot water is the old water running out. I used to have to wait about 1 minute to get hot water in my showers. With this unit, it adds only 10 seconds to the process as it quickly cranks up and starts heating the water flowing through it. For the occasional mindless person who claims that because their one unit was a dud, that all of them are - get a brain and learn some math. If you buy 40 units and 10% of them are duds, then you can make some claims about overall performance. If you go to any tank or tankless heater that has more than 80 reviews, you'll find at least a couple of reviews by people who got duds. It doesn't mean they all suck. Be honest and just say, "Mine broke and I was unhappy," and don't try to make up that everyone is going to have a problem because you did. In this day and age, pretty much all manufactured things have some duds, even high end computers like Apple. I got a dud iphone and had to have it sent back for a new one. Does that mean you will? Chances are low. I have another property where I still have a tank, and just as many things can go wrong with a tank as with a tankless. And when they go wrong with a tank, it can wreck the floor of whatever room it's in or close to, along with whatever things (furniture, cabinets etc.) are in touch with the floor. I can't wait to replace the tank with a tankless. When the time comes, I'll research what the best buy is out there for price and performance. Ecosmart was when I did, but I'm not wed to them or any other company. I also regained half a closet as it takes up almost no space. I put it in the upper corner of a closet out of the way. You can set the water temp with the turn of a knob. I love it. I will never go back to a tank. UPDATE: I've had it for 2 years now and still super happy with it.

Trying to get rid of gas heated anything in the house to protect the family - I bought this - problem with it is only one thing..... for a LARGE 3 full bathroom house if you used the furthest away bathtub from the unit (downstairs garage) you could not put it on highest setting to get water out of the bathtub - you had to put it on like medium flow of water coming out to get it to super scalding hot - it could not keep up - that being said - showers were no problem - scalding hot - also cut down on my bills - no more gas bill at all plus increase in the electric bill b/c of this unit was about 1/2 of what gas was b/c only ever turns on when water flows period... it was fine to use in multiple bathrooms and kitchen at same time also FYI.... so these were all my worries thinking I was totally screwing up buying one of these devices - but it works!!! one last note::: it cost me $800 to have an electrician put in 4 of the 40AMP connectors necessary to run this device which cost in the end more than double the cost of this device - it will NOTTTT work without a 40AMP and it's very unlikely you have 4 extra 40 AMP connectors on your electric grid in house and if you do they are used by something else guaranteed ! this is something they did not mention!! even though it's on the box it's umm wow... ugly cost - also the cost to BUY the 40 AMPs switches were ummm $60ish or where they $100 ish I forget ... so over $1000 total cost on electrician plus switches! sheesh... but I'm saving about $50 per month by switching to this so in 2 yrs it's paid for anyway but still - sheesh - I will give also another word of advice - I looked thru 100 of these devices - OMG so much work - let me tell you that had I spent that amount of time searching instead of a person who installed 100s of these before (a full plumber/electrician company) I would have probably saved crazy money b/c I don't thing I would have been spending that $1000 to $1200 for an install - I think they would have handled the whole thing for like $700 ish (install for plumbing for this device PLUS upgrade of electrical PLUS 4 switches cost etc) ... OOPS... I did not find this out until RIGHT AFTER the electrician was done - my friend had called me the day of or day after I had it all electrically upgraded to tell me they had found about 3 others that do this all the time in addition to working all sorts of other construction jobs - they did say however these devices are all quite GOOD if you do not go cheap like $187 one - notice I got the 2nd to most powerful one in existence the 27 version with 4 of the 40amp connectors and so on... they said they just dont have trouble with these devices but they do require maintenance like de-scalling the calcium scales off every few yrs - I never need that though b/c I have a water enhancement unit that forbids scaling for life - hehe....

Reason(s) for purchase: 1. Save $ on energy cost 2. Our tank water heater wasn't getting the water hot enough (could have been going out or was adjusted IDK) 3. Free up some valuable real estate in our laundry room (more like a closet) So, I managed to buy this model for $360 brand new. I had originally paid $505 and was on amazon about a week later and noticed that this product was on sale as Amazon's deal of the day. Sent the other one back and bought the sale one lol. I decided to go with this particular model because I would much rather have too much than not enough. It's all about the incoming temperature and living in Hawaii this product should do the job for us (4bd 3bth).I will update on actual savings in $ but keep in mind that each state charges different amounts per kWh (Hawaii charges x3 of the national avg. so savings may appear more drastic) and families use different amounts of hot water, but at least it will give you an idea. Pros: -Unlimited hot water -Supposed to save $ on energy -Frees up valuable space -Looks Modern Cons: -Initial cost may be more than tank (will recoup $ over time) -In order to keep warranty must be installed professionally -Requires three 40 amp double pole breakers -Most likely need new electrical wiring ran -Seems to take a bit longer for hot water Install: Install "can" be fairly simple for the average DIYer if you can follow instructions and a few safety guidelines. The hardest part is running the wiring to the electrical panel. Everything else is pretty easy. If your breaker box is in the same room as your plumbing the install should be cake. Just make sure that your work is done to code. Wife and I installed it together (she helped run the electrical wiring to the breaker box). Ours was across the room in the hallway. It actually took us two days working a couple of hours to run our electrical (a different story for another day). After running the electrical it probably took me 30 minutes to an hour to finish the rest (installing breakers, mounting and wiring the heater) After use: We have only been using it for about 3 or 4 days now and it is going to take some getting use to. The water definitely gets hotter than it did before. The hotter water was the first thing that the wife noticed, but it does seem to take a bit longer to get hot water to the faucets. Not a lot of extra time but it's noticeable, but other than that I have no complaints. That's not even a complaint..... More of an observation. Bottom line: I plan on installing one of these in our next home. I recommend this product to any who is debating whether or not to buy a tankless water heater. Just do your research and makes sure that it will fit your needs. My wife regretted this purchase after having to bust holes in our walls/ceiling and realizing how much work it was for us. Now that it's done she tells me all of the time that she is glad that we installed our new tankless water heater. Plus it does everything that we wanted it to do. Update: Product is still working flawlessly and I haven't noticed any light flickering at all. Plus I am running this on a 150 amp service, but my incoming temperature will always be 60-70 degrees F all year round so shouldn't come close to maxing this thing out. After 1 1/2 months of service this is what I noticed: 1. Saved $14 on first full electric bill 2. Almost seems like a waste whenever I wash my hands because by the time the water gets hot I am long gone unless hot water is already in the lines (not the machines fought). I thought about purchasing some point of use heater but changed my mind (not my forever house) 3. Love the bit of extra space in the laundry room. Feels more like a laundry room now that we can actually fit some clothes baskets in there. 4. Wife still enjoys it quite a bit. We even turned it down to 115 degrees. I was hoping to save more per month but even at this rate it would pay itself off in about 4 years or so (including everything....wiring, drywall to patch, texture, paint, valves and filter= Roughly $600 ). Not bad....Hoping next month we notice more savings. Will see I guess. Either way this product performs as advertised. Highly satisfied.

My hot water heater sprung a leak so I decided to "upgrade" to the tankless unit. I have a 3 bedroom two bath home and this 27kw unit seemed to fit the bill for water supply, especially based on the reviews. I mean, who wouldn't love an endless supply of hot water. The rest of the reviews were so great, I figured it was worth the investment. The unit ends up costing around $600-$700 after you buy all of the supplies needed to install it properly (8-gauge wiring, breakers, etc). I was prepared for that so, not a big deal. I figured the investment would be worth it, especially with the warranty included...except there pretty much is no warranty. The lifetime warranty only applies if you have a separate and licensed electrician and plumber install the unit and have their license numbers sent to EcoSmart (unless you happen to have one person licensed in both). Basically, lots of $$$ that the manufacturer is probably gambling you're not willing to spend. The unit is a piece of cake to install though, a couple of wires and two pipes. Not really rocket science that the average homeowner can do. I went the self install route because a professional install was going to be more than another unit and I needed hot water soon. So, I get everything wired up and plumbed up. The unit is only a few feet from the breaker box so install was a snap for me. I fire everything up after purging the lines and was happy when hot water came out the faucet. Everything seemed good...until my wife wanted to take a bath. So it turns out that when they say "low flow", they really mean it. We could only turn the bath faucet maybe an 1/8th of full throttle to keep the water running hot. When taking a shower, I didn't even use the cold water to even the temp out like I normally did as leaving only the hot on kept the water at a tolerable temp. I don't have kids so scalding is not a problem. I was disappointed that the hottest setting wasn't unbearably hot but I let it slide as I was just happy to have hot water again. Fast forward to the next day and the wife is complaining that the hot water is taking forever to come on. I check the unit and nothing is working. I turn the breakers off and on again and it seems to start back up fine. Third day rolls around and the same problem happens. I go through the troubleshooting area and check all the values. Everything checks out so I reset it and hope it was just a glitch. The fourth day goes by and the unit just quits heating altogether. The temp lights stay on but the heating elements refuse to turn on. At this point, you have to decide to either call customer support and see if they can fix it or get something else. I figured if I was already having problems with a new unit, I definitely didn't want to gamble on it lasting six or more years as a normal heater does with ease, especially since you get no warranty support. I packed it up and sent it back and bought an old fashioned tank unit. Lesson learned...the world is not ready for this tech yet. Sure you don't have a tank that can get a leak, but you now have about 10 times the electronics that can go bad as mine did.

I purchased the Ecosmart water heater to put into my new home that I built last year. I hired a plumber to do all of the new plumbing work so plumbed it in for me, I did the electrical work myself. I ended up spending about $180 on wire and breakers. The ECO 27 requires 3-30amp breakers at the panel and 3 runs of 8 gauge, 2 conductor wire. I live in Canada and 8/2 wire is rare apparently, so I had to go with an 8/3 wire and simply didn't use the third wire, and taped it off. The electrical installation was pretty simple, I followed the directions, watched their YouTube installation video, ran through the tests with my tester, and viola, hot water. My complaints. The water takes awhile to get hot for some reason. I don't know why. It seems as if all the cold water in the lines has to disappear first, then be replaced with hot water, then the hot water starts to come out. Washing your hands in the bathroom sink or kitchen sink can be slightly frustrating, as you have to wait a bit before the water gets hot. This is different from how I remember the way a hot water tank works. That's it. On to the good stuff. First things first, the shower. In my master bath I have two shower heads in the shower. A Delta 57014 Slide Bar and an American Standard 10" Rain Head. I installed a diverter so I can use one or the other, or both. I had to tweak the temperature settings a little bit, at first I figured 105 degrees would be best, as I enjoy a nice hot shower. However it was a bit too cool, perhaps the distance the water had to travel cooled it down? So I stepped it up a bit to 128 degrees. With a single shower head running it is right on the edge of being too hot, but I really enjoy hot showers. If it becomes too much for me to bare I turn it down a little or just flip on the other shower head. With both running, it is a temperature I think most people would enjoy. I try, most of the time, to be energy and water efficient, I turn the shower off and soap up, turn it back on to rinse. But let me tell you! I've had a couple of mornings after being out late and having a couple too many drinks, and I have laid in the shower with both shower heads going for upwards of an hour. It doesn't stop, it doesn't slow down, it doesn't get cold. Even when it was -20 Celsius outside, it kept heating my water up for my shower :) The last thing I would like to say about the shower, since I have the Ecosmart set at a temperature that works for me, all I do is turn it straight to hot, no mixing. This allows toilets to be flushed, sinks to be ran, etc. without ever flinching a degree when I am in the shower. Next! I installed a Roman style faucet for my tub. This baby pours water out. It pours too fast actually. The Ecosmart cannot keep up. This was actually the first test I made with the water heater and I was very disappointed at first. However, if I turn the tap down a bit, it heats up, turn it down a bit more, and it gets even hotter. Simple fix really. The tub takes a little longer to fill, but it's not a huge deal. I don't bathe often anyway. The dishwasher.. I have a Whirlpool dishwasher that has an element in it to help heat the water beyond what the Ecosmart can do. I never had any problems with washing dishes, I'm not 100% sure how well it would perform without the element in the dishwasher to help heat the water more, but I purposely bought a dishwasher that would do this just in case. All in all, it's an excellent and aesthetically appealing unit. I don't have any complaints, and it seems as if it's only limitation is at higher flow rates. I cannot say if it's saving me any money, as I haven't anything to compare it to.

My electric tank-type water heater developed a leak, and after a lot of reading on the Internet I decided to replace it with a tankless unit from EcoSmart. I'm fairly handy, so I wanted to do the work myself. I bought the heater from Amazon for $453 and various electrical and plumbing supplies from Lowes and Home Depot for $251, for a total outlay of $704. Aside from the tankless unit, the biggest expense was the wire. Tearing out the old tank heater was easy and only took about a half hour. Mounting the EcoSmart unit in the same place as the old heater and creating the new plumbing connections with copper pipe took about 4 hours. Although 240-volt wiring was left over from the old heater, the 12-gauge wire was too thin, and there was only one 30-amp circuit available. The EcoSmart unit I bought needs three 40-amp circuits and 8-gauge wire. My breaker box is located about 30 feet away from the water heater location, so I had to string 3 lengths of 8-gauge, 2-conductor wire up into the ceiling and across to the breaker box. This took a full day, and crawling around in the space above the ceiling killed my knees. My electrical service is 200 amps, so I only had to find 3 double-wide slots for the new circuit breakers (one slot where the old water heater connected, and two new slots). Shuffling a few breakers around gained me the last 3 available slots. Hooking up the EcoSmart unit was simple, and the instructions are very clear. The biggest hassle was routing the heavy 8-gauge wire into the breaker box. Doing the electrical hookup took about 3 hours. After verifying that nothing leaked and all the voltages were right, I turned on a hot water tap and prepared for the worst. And Voila! Hot water. Lots of hot water. After playing with the EcoSmart unit for several hours, I have the following observations: 1. It works, pretty much as advertised. Owing to electrical power limitations, it can't produce super-hot water at high flow rates, but it has no trouble producing really hot water at low flow rates. This means that it's advisable to install low-flow heads if you like hot showers. I doubt if the EcoSmart unit can keep up with multiple showers running simultaneously, despite what they claim, but for most tasks it should be fine. The only operational quirk I've noticed is that the water temperature is initially fairly hot, then not so hot for a few seconds, then hot again forever. 2. The EcoSmart unit is well made. When and if they fail, the heating elements will be easy to replace using standard, off-the-shelf elements. The innards of the unit are nicely laid out and constructed using first-rate materials. And you can't beat the lifetime warranty. 3. The project is well within the scope of a do-it-yourselfer with decent plumbing and electrical skills. The biggest hassle is running the heavy wire, and you can expect the job to take two days if you're replacing an electric tank-style unit. The installation instructions are crystal-clear, and the troubleshooting guide is very good. Make sure you have sufficient electrical service (200 amps) and space in your breaker box for the additional breakers (or add a small sub-panel). Finally, be sure to take into account the cost of the additional plumbing and electrical stuff you'll need. The bottom line is that I'm pleased with the EcoSmart tankless water heater. Installing it was a somewhat bigger hassle than I had anticipated, but it all worked out in the end. Its only apparent limitation is an inability to produce piping hot water at high flow rates. We'll see how much money I save as time goes on.

Update August 2023: After 10+ years of flawless service the heater finally had a problem! The first element closest to the cold water inlet failed - it cracked and shorted out. Device continues to work fine but capacity is reduced. I decided to buy a new one instead in case of any manufacturing improvements over the years and keep this one as a spare or for parts. I had never flushed it or cleaned the elements in vinegar in 10 years and I was surprised how pristine everything was inside in spite of our South Florida water! The only debris was from the cracked element and some light yellow calcification paste - the other two elements looked like they just came out of the factory! No pun intended but this tankless water heater is built like a tank! Original Review April 2013: I put in a SETS 24 tankless 120AMP electric water heater about 6 years that finally gave up the ghost last week The company was out of business so I was not looking forward to major wiring or plumbing changes with a new brand. I selected this EcoSmart 27 based on the amazon reviews and I was very surprised that it was a perfect drop in replacement for my old heater w/o having to do any plumbing or electric changes! It requires 120 Amp service with 3 double pole 40 amp breakers same as my old SETS. The inlet and outlet pipes location and spacing are identical to the SETS so I didn't need to change any plumbing. Having used tankless electric heaters now for 6 years, the technology has changed tremendously. The Eco-Smart is way better than my old SETS. The Ecosmart does not have the problem where water temp swings between scalding and cold and in fact maintains a rock solid stable temperature. This was a huge surprise as we thought temp swings were just a fact of life with tankless heaters; now we know better! On the inlet side it has a flow sensor so the unit wont turn on unless water is flowing and it has a temp sensor to measure inlet water temp. This is important as the idea is to maintain a constant outlet water temp regardless of the inlet water temp. It does this by calculating the delta between inlet and desired outlet temps and then powers up 1, 2 or 3 of the heating elements to get the desired outlet temp. So winter or summer, the unit should still deliver the same set temp on the outlet side. My old SETS did not have this feature so in the winter it was a guessing game as to where the water temp would stabilize. Becaus eof the temp stability, we followed Ecosmart/DOE recommendation and set the temp dial to 115. Now when taking a shower we need not mix in any cold water (or very little) to get the right water temp. The EcoSmart is well put together as well. The tubing is all shiny copper inside, the flow switch looks durable and th sensors on inlet and outlet are screw in type so they should be replaceable if they ever fail. The thermostats and Triacs look lik ethey are good quality as well and the internals are all well grounded to the common (which in my old SETS I was surprised to find was not the case so it caused a lot of corrosion). The best part is that this modern and well put together unit costs 50% less than what I paid for my old SETS 6 years ago. I am very happy with this unit so far. I will update this review if the unit fails to meet expectations in the future, such as in winter (not much of it here in Florida!).

8/1/21 First time the unit has filed. Started making popping sounds. I called ecosmart to help me with diagnosing the problem. They sent me a pdf and told me to check the triacs. Followed the instructions and indeed it was a triac that was bad. Called again and they gave me the part number. After replacing the part the heater is once again operational! I am super happy and surprised thay after soo many years it still works! When I was diagnosing the unit before I called I looked at everything! The heating elements are still in very good condition! They are original! I have to thank the Aguapure softener for this... 30 bucks goes a long way! If you don't have it installed... do so immediately! 10/27/19 Still works, so far got my money's worth! At this point if it craps out, I dont mind replacing it with the same exact unit. I installed a remote for this thing... I dont even have to go to the basement to adjust the temperature! 06/08/19 Unit still works without a glitch! This winters freezing temperatures had no effect on its performance. I use this thing in the Poconos! I was very skeptical about my purchase of the Ecosmart ECO 27 Electric Tankless. I did my research and read tons of reviews. Some reviews scared me but took the risk. I got to say.......... I am completely surprised! Installed it on 6/15/13 and so far it works as advertised. I will edit this review if anything changes. If you follow the instructions and do everything the right way... you will have no problems. 1. Make sure you have a 200AMP service 2. Make sure you have room for 3, 40AMP 2 Pole barkers 3. Make sure you get the 8 Gauge Wire and wire the unit as specified, DO NOT CROSS WIRES 4. Make sure you get the correct piping and cut off valves, do not be cheap do it the right way 5. Install the Aqua-Pure AP430SS Hot Water System Protector (worth the investment) 6. Let water run through the system before you turn on the power! 7.
