Anyone know anything about on demand hot water services? I mean the tankless ones.
I know the vast majority of them are gas rather than electric but I don't have a gas option at my place. It's electricity or nothing.
I have a Rheem unit which needs to be serviced or replaced but given how much space it takes up, I'd like to put in something smaller if I can.

Re: On demand electric HWS
Anyone know where I can find them?
Also need advice on how much they cost to run and how well they work.

Re: On demand electric HWS
Yeah, thanks Montey. I'd already looked but nothing like that had come up before.
I just wanted to know if anyone here has used or installed them. Looks like some of them are connected to 3-phase which would probably kybosh the idea.
I doubt if my body corporate would allow it.

Stiebel eltron are the only decent electric instantaneous units around. Don't buy anything else. Go to a Reece store. There are 3 phase and single phase models available. I'd get some info for ya but in on holidays

Re: On demand electric HWS
Thanks Hz.
I have been advised by a plumber who has installed these things that three-phase is the only way to go.
Unfortunately, that is not an option for me.
I'd still be interested in seeing what these things are like so I'll look them up.
There's a Reece's near me.
