Stiebel Eltron Tempra 15 Plus Electric Tankless Water Heater
Stiebel Eltron Tempra 15 Plus Electric Tankless Water Heater Review
The Stiebel Eltron Tempra 15 Plus is a 14.4 kW whole-house electric tankless, the smallest in Stiebel Eltron's premium Tempra Plus line. Sized for 1-bath warm-climate primary residence use.
Specs: 14.4 kW, two 30-amp double-pole breakers, 60A continuous draw at 240V. Capacity: 1.7 GPM at a 60°F rise or 2.6 GPM at a 40°F rise. Stainless steel heat exchanger. 7-year warranty on heat exchanger.
The 15 kW class fits comfortably in 100A panels — wider electrical-service compatibility than larger Tempra Plus units. Right answer for single-bathroom warm-climate primary residence.
About $850 unit, $1,800 installed. Premium engineering versus EcoSmart ECO 18 (similar capacity at lower price): quieter operation, smoother modulation. Right buyer: 1-bath primary residence wanting premium European engineering at moderate capacity.
