Stiebel Eltron DHC 10-2 Electric Point-of-Use Tankless Water Heater
Stiebel Eltron DHC 10-2 Electric Point-of-Use Tankless Water Heater Review
The Stiebel Eltron DHC 10-2 is a 10 kW electric point-of-use tankless, the largest unit in Stiebel Eltron's DHC point-of-use line. Sized between point-of-use and whole-house electric tankless.
Specs: 10 kW, single 50A double-pole breaker at 240V, 1.5 GPM at a 40°F rise. Stainless steel heat exchanger. Premium European engineering with PID-based temperature control.
The 10 kW class is suitable for: small bathroom shower in finished basement, in-law suite bathroom, pool house bathroom with shower fixture. Larger than typical point-of-use, smaller than whole-house tankless.
About $450 unit, $750-$950 installed. Right buyer: small remote bathroom with shower demand that exceeds 6-8 kW point-of-use capacity but doesn't warrant whole-house tankless. Premium Stiebel Eltron engineering versus EcoSmart equivalents at higher price for build-quality advantage.
