Westinghouse WET-27 27 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater
Westinghouse WET-27 27 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater Review
The Westinghouse WET-27 is a 27 kW whole-house electric tankless water heater. Westinghouse-branded water heaters are manufactured by various OEMs under license; this unit competes with EcoSmart ECO 27 and Stiebel Eltron Tempra 36 in the 27 kW class.
Specs: 27 kW, three 40-amp double-pole breakers (200A service required), 113A continuous draw, stainless steel heat exchanger, 7-year warranty on heat exchanger.
The Westinghouse positioning is mid-tier value — between EcoSmart's lifetime-warranty premium and the cheaper Marey ECO270 budget tier. About $700 unit versus $629 for EcoSmart ECO 27 or $700 for Marey ECO270.
Distribution primarily online (Amazon, direct-to-consumer). Service handled through manufacturer customer service rather than dealer networks. About $700 unit, $2,000 installed.
Right buyer: DIY-savvy homeowners or installations where Westinghouse brand recognition matters and the cost difference versus EcoSmart's longer warranty doesn't matter. For most buyers, EcoSmart ECO 27's lifetime warranty makes it the better long-term choice.
