Electric water heaters are popular in Europe because they can run double the voltage we can in America. A 220v line requires a thick and expensive cable to carry current, but if you have a higher voltage grid you don’t need big cables because the heater isn’t drawing huge current when it has voltage instead.

Clown! 😂😂😂😂

Hopefully this video is from Trinidad, and he's talking Trinidad&Tobago dollars.

We focus on tankless water heaters and are looking for testers to shoot videos. We look forward to collaborating with you and hearing back from you.

Very clear information presented!

6000 to 8000$ to install 1500$ water heater? Lol. You guys really making fools out of people

Pros Less energy consumption Less cycling Longer service live Cons Expensive Harder to repair Some use only OEM parts Saved you 4 minutes

Scammers

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY--YOU CAN'T USE YOUR EXISTING VENT.

hhmmmmm. i noticed multiple contradictions. the first thing out of his mouth was that heat pumps are more efficient. Then at the end he says one of the cons is that they use considerably more power. In the middle of his speech he says it will save 50% of your electricity bill. Which 1 is it??

I would imagine placing these in the attic is ideal since attics are usually hotter all year round

I have a Noritz tankless water heater (uses gas) and the high pitched fan noise it makes after you turn hot water off drives me crazy. It's insane how noisy it is, all day every time you use water. Very annoying.

People with heat pumps in cold climates probably dont mind sitting in a house thats 50 degrees myself I will keep my gas furnace and stay warm at 74 degrees.

We get temp in the winter sometimes -10 here in Kansas..I am not taking my chances on a heat pump especially costing thousands and thousands of dollars.

They’re all made in the same factories, efficiency rate can be cheated. Best thing you can get is a fan coil or hydro furnace otherwise it’s a box. Not a good trend to get consumers focused on the box and not the service. We offer 10-12 years warranty parts and labour on our own dime, plus consumables and tune ups for that 12 years.

I’m getting error 43, it’s not listed on the manual

Just so you know without CO2, you wouldn’t have grass you wouldn’t have trees. It would be a brown desolate, dead agricultural country. Do your research please before you believe the nonsense they tell you.

How often do you change the filter?

Unfortunately harris democrat party con new laws have dramatically increased our electricity prices. Unless we get nuclear powdered like France, the $500+ annual electricity cost for an electric unit adds considerable cost with inflation.

Probably one of the absolutely most worthless videos where the guy talks a lot but says nothing - I want the 5 minutes back you stole from my life - not a single bit of useful information. Didn’t even get into the math behind when existing ducts can be used or not.

Sounds all well and good until Pacificorp decides to up your electricity rates by 70%...

Our experinces...While out of town a HVAC company charged me $2300 to replace a 40gall gravity draft NG HW tank at a rental, so I have been installing Stiebel Eltron electric units in all our upstate NY properties. Some are already 12 years old. In 2009 I replaced our 80gall NG HW tank with a cheap NG on-demand jaccuzzi I got at Lowes for $150. It was return & had everything with it. My NG bill dropped $1600 the following year & that old system is still running. But at the time we had 5 teenage showers going every morning with 2 of them teenage girls so that 80gall HW tank would run out of HW fast. My Lakehouse neighbor paid $3200 to replace his propane HW tank, has to drain & winterize every year, pay for the propane tank rental & refill & his propane fce is never used. That same year 2015 I installed a $699 Stiebel Eltron in our ALL ELECTRIC lakehouse & our highest electric bill since was $68 (summer 2024) with our mini split a/c etc also running constantly. 4 years ago I installed a Stiebel Eltron ($799) in our Scottsdale vacation home & the NG bill dropped from $145 to $16/month. Our old 50gall HW tank cooked HW constantly even when the garage was 110deg F. Our cooktop & BBQ are now the only systems using NG & the NG fces have NEVER been used. 5 years ago I installed an $899 AO Smith 166kBTU NG HW system in our 7 unit apt bldg. It replaced the 75gall NG HW tank that constantly ran out of HW & after 5-6 years they all leaked.The NG billing dropped signifcantly & with 17-20 taking showers no-one has complained about no HW. That same year my BIL replaced two 75gall NG HW tanks with a NG Navien system ($7200) & he had call backs for several months after for board issues & still waits minutes for HW to arrive at the faucetts.

it cost me 8600

Very convincing time to go tankless

So which do you recommend!?

Great explanation, Thanks.

Do they take out the old systems when they install or do you just leave them in situ?

I recently solved my "faulty" heat pump thermostat problem after 6 years of owning this older Florida home It tended to read a temperature than seemed unreasonably cold when I knew the the house needed cooling. I would compensate by setting the temperature for the cold setting to maybe 65 dg F so that the unit would turn on when I usually like the temperature closer to 75 dg. When the two months of heating season in Florida came around the reverse was true. I recently popped open the casing of the thermostat and bushed out the dust that had accoumulated over the years and noticed that there was a hole the size of a golf ball that the wiring came through from the wall behind. The thermostat was reading the temperature of the wall cavity more than the hallway temperature! Worst still was that the heat pump coils were adjacent to the wall that the thermostat was mounted to inside a closet. When the coils were cold the theremostat was reading colder than reality. When warm the thermostat read warmer than reality. Fixed it by shooting in a can of "Great Stuff" expandalbe foam and now everything is hunkydory! Yeah, feel stupid that it took me so long to figure it out but I bet I am not the only one with this problem.

Thanks

You have to be joking about lennox!

I've been considering installing a whole-house (Aq****na) system in my house with PEX plumbing. My concern is that the chlorine will be largely removed, therefore allowing bacteria, mold, etc. to grow in the pipes. Is this a significant issue in your opinion?

This is very informative. Can you do a video on the pros and cons of a mini split versus a central air heat pump system? I chose a central air system because I already had ducting and wanted better whole-home filtration.

Tankless water heaters suck they don't last, this video is bunch of BS!

I agree about the Lenox, I don't like it, I think something odd is going on with those products

Wow, the are cheaper in Australia

Some Mexicans cut the pipe and put roof jack on that has a cap. They threw away the oem cap. It doesn't work anymore

Very misleading title. I'm not liking or subscribing.

I do not understand the logic behind condensing units costing more "due their Technological design and high energy efficiency." Can anyone explain bc it is obvious this fool is an AI Bot with stupid face jewelry to try to appeal to millennials.

People act like heat pumps are something new! Had one in Boise in the early '80s. Ignorance abounds.

I live in a RV. Right now I have the stock gas/electric HWH. All I use my hot water for is showering. I do have a dishwasher but it has its own heating element. Would a electric HWH be enough for me? And how long can you shower with an electric on demand HWH?

I am a plumber and if you want to install electric remember the capacity of gpm greatly diminish vs a gas . I don’t doubt that electric will be the top water heaters in the future but right now the technology is not there

It seems like condensing models is the way to go.. do non condensing models have any benefits over condensing ones?

What does "Up to a lifetime warranty" even mean?

NOBODY plays ball indoors!

My steibel tempra plus is set at 109 and will not change or go high (hotter). How do i fix this ?

How do I stop it from beeping?

I understand that you’re going to be paying more in the winter to heat your home with respect to electricity bills. We’re on propane and live in coastal California. Propane heating is wildly expensive, especially since our furnace isn’t very efficient. I don’t see that it would be likely that we would be paying a lot more in the winter that would be in electricity rather than gas. But that was good information to know. First question: I thought heat pumps were more efficient at cooling than traditional air conditioners and would save us money on summer electric bills ….is that not correct? We need a 3 ton unit and we’re looking at a 3 ton 15 seer. we would probably use a larger unit except that we already put an independent mini split in our master suite which is on its own upper floor. Second question: shouldn’t heat pumps be located outside? One the reasons where making this change is that our old unit is hung underneath our house on earthquake fittings and straps and vibrates the floor in the dining room whether it’s heating or cooling it’s a 15-year-old unit and it’s just past its lifetime. It’s also very inefficient. The installer I talked to wanted to still put the new heat pump unit underneath the house. This doesn’t make any sense to me. The last thing I want is a chance of replicating vibration through the house as the unit ages or if something goes wrong - We have all deducting we need, and it would simply involve diverting the ducting from the existing unit to the heat pump. Other people I know have their units outside and it seems like it would be far less expensive to install it outdoors. Summer temperatures can get to 95 to 100 and winter temperatures can get low, but never freezing. A cold night where we live is , 40°. It is a rare night that gets down below that and freezing temperature is only encountered very rarely.

I had a goodman high efficiency furnace system installed 20 years ago. It still works great, and I have never had any problems.
