Enjoy the Tankless Hot Water Energy Savings that Only a 99% Efficient Unit can Deliver
Energy prices go up and down. But mostly up. The second-largest consumer of energy in your home is your water heater, after air conditioning. The way conventional tank water heaters work is that they heat the water in the tank until the thermostat setpoint temperature is reached. They waste energy even when no one is running hot water, because of standby heat losses.
Only tankless water heaters avoid these standby heat losses that consume so much energy, which is why they typically save 15% to 20% in energy usage. Tankless water heater energy savings add up, and not just in lower bills. A standard water heater lasts only eight-to-12 years, while a tankless unit will last at least 20 years.
If you’re ready to make the switch and fit your home with an electric tankless water heater, your first question is, which one is the best one? According to Best Reviews, Forbes, Bob Vila, the answer is clear: Stiebel Eltron. Read on to see why their electric tankless water heaters are the best choice for your household.
The Tempra® 29 Plus
This whole-house electric tankless water heater delivers excellent performance with a high flow of continuous hot water whenever and wherever you need it throughout your home–two can even shower at the same time.
Advanced Flow Control™
It’s all possible through our exclusive Advanced Flow Control™, which we invented in 1970 and have continuously improved since. What it does is automatically reduce the flow of water slightly if the demand is great.
Designed with your family’s comfort at home in mind, this feature guarantees consistent water temperature regardless of the number of faucets running at once – an undeniable improvement on those cold shower shocks that happen when too much demand is placed on other manufacturers’ units.
Self-Modulation Energy Technology
The Tempra® 29 Plus makes sure it’s using the least amount of energy needed at all times. It continuously monitors the incoming water temperature, the water flow rate, and the water temperature it is producing. These sensor readings are fed into our exclusive microprocessor control. This then engages the heating elements in efficient stages to heat the water to your desired temperature while using as little energy as possible.
Constant Temperature Output
Our patented Advanced Flow Control™ ensures the perfect output temperature regardless of flow rate, which means it remains consistent even if an additional tap is opened or closed. Other tankless manufacturers don’t maintain a steady temperature if the flow varies, meaning you’re left with a cold shower.
Consistent Water Supply, No Matter the Demand
A traditional tank water heater certainly holds more water and thus can supply more all at once. But when that supply is gone, it’s gone. With a Tempra® 29 Plus unit, there’s no worry of being late for that important meeting or that special date because your teenager spent an hour showering. No one needs to suffer through a cold shower or make yourself late.
The Tempra® Plus has a direct response to your hot water demand with no interruptions. Take a long, hot shower after a long, hot shower–no problem.

I’m Sold! Is The Tempra® 29 Plus The Right Size?
Our helpful sizing guide will tell you what you need to know, but we’re always standing by to answer any questions you might have.
First, you’ll use the map to find the estimated groundwater temperature where you live. Then, you’ll check a table to see how many fixtures can be supplied with hot water at the same time for each size. You’ll then use the maximum flow rate to fine-tune your needs and find the right size unit for your home.
- A shower typically uses about 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM) to 2.5 GPM
- A kitchen sink uses 1 GMPS to 2.2 GPM
- A bathroom sink uses .5 GPM to 1 GPM.
Additional water and energy savings can be yours by installing low-flow showerheads and sink aerators, along with attention to your water usage habits. You also can install point-of-use tankless water heaters at sinks or other usage locations that can give you additional energy savings.
