Stiebel Eltron Electric Water Heaters

Outstanding German Eco-Engineering for Your Home

By now you've most likely heard of people switching over to tankless electric water heaters. The benefits of going tankless are numerous and end with  positive results for you, your family, and the planet.

There are no costly replacements with tankless electric water heaters, nor are there burdensome routine maintenance and complicated installation needs. These progressive water heating systems are compact and lightweight, often being able to fit comfortable under your bathroom sink.

However, once you become acquainted with the benefits how do you decide which brands of electric water heaters to choose from? Are all electric water heaters equal in quality, safety, and production? Just like shopping for a new car, looking for a new electric water heater is something you will have to research and compare. The reason: they aren't equal!

While there are many good brands to choose from, there is one in particular that has captured the hearts of its customers. That brand is Stiebel Eltron, a German maker of eco-smart electric water heaters. But first....

How Much Water Do I Use?

Have you ever pondered just how much energy you use for your daily hot water needs? Well, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American family of four will consume 400 gallons of water - in a single day!

You can imagine how much hot water this is when you consider that the average 12 foot round swimming pool is 2,975 gallons. This may sound like a big difference, yet it's not far off. A family that uses 400 gallons of hot water per day will fill that entire swimming pool in just under a week!

Another way to view this is purely monetarily. Hot water is costly - both economically and environmentally - so envision filling that swimming pool up with dollar bills. It wouldn't be too long before it overflows with your hard-earned money.

How Much Energy Do I Use?

How do you manage to use 400 gallons of water (or more) in a week? It's not very hard, unfortunately.

Let's say you're washing dishes in the sink and you have a flow rate of two gallons of water per minute. It takes you 30 minutes to wash all of your dishes, meaning you've used 60 gallons of water. So how much energy did it take to heat those 60 gallons?

On average, heating one gallon of water will take 583.8 British Thermal Units (BTUs) of energy with an incoming water temperature of 50° F and outgoing temperature of 120° F. Just multiple your 60 gallons of water by 583.8 BTUs per gallon to get an energy consumption of - 35,028 BTUs washing dishes!

The Consumer Energy Report states that every million BTU of natural gas costs you approximately $5.67 and $13.92 for propane. All of these numbers can be confusing and seem disconnected from your daily life. However, this confusion is precisely the reason it's important to take control of your water usage and maintain a healthy household budget for your family.

So take control of your water usage and invest in reliable tankless electric water heaters.

Eco-Friendly Electric Water Heaters

Electricity has a net system efficiency of 98%, meaning you get more bang for your buck with electricity over natural gas or propane. Many Stiebel Eltron electric water heaters use up to 50% less power than conventional tank electric water heaters! 

Returning to the dish washing example, if you use 60 gallons of hot water, but utilize a tankless electric water heater, that comes to an electricity rate of about 9.5 watts with an energy cost of only $1.06!

In addition, unlike natural gas or propane, electricity will not produce a CO2 byproduct at home; plus, the lower energy consumption equals additional carbon dioxide savings. The CO2 you generate is part of your carbon footprint, which is a measure of your personal impact on the environment.

By using Stiebel Eltron electric water heaters you save yourself some green and protect the planet.

Switch to Tankless Today!

Now you know about the hidden hype behind Stiebal Eltron electric water heaters, but just what are the differences

Going tankless means your electric water heater will not rust and collect hard mineral build-up over time. Instead, water will continue to arrive hot, fresh, and pure for the next 15 to 20 years. Speaking of which, tankless electric water heaters last five to 10 years longer than traditional electric water heaters.

That old water closet? Convert it into a new wardrobe for jackets and shoes! Or maybe transform the space into a case for awards, trophies, collections, and memorabilia. The possibilities are ripe for your imagination to cultivate ideas.

Lastly, as mentioned above, tankless electric water heaters - even brands other than Stiebel Eltron - save you money every month. Since there is no tank, these electric water heaters create hot water on demand (instantly) without thermal or water waste.
