3GPM Electric Tankless Water Heater


3 gpm electric tankless water heaters are great for use in small to medium homes that do not have major appliances that need hot water. It can also be used as point of use heating system and can be installed beside the shower, under the kitchen sink, or right next to the clothes washer.

Available Features

Not all 3 gpm electric tankless water heaters are the same. They offer different features; some are useful and very important while the others are not.To help you with this, here are some of the useful features to look for when buying a 3 GPM electric tankless hot water heater:

·         Rust-proof body and pipes. To ensure more years of operation, choose a tankless water heater that has rust and corrosion resistant body and pipes. Since it always has direct contact with water, it is crucial that a water heater stays rust-free.

·         Energy efficient. Energy efficiency is synonymous to cost efficiency. Getting a tankless water heater that has a high energy rating could mean more dollars to pay upfront, but it can also mean more energy bill savings in the long run.

·         3 gallons per minute output. If you are considering buying a  3 GPM electric tankless water heater, it only means that you are looking for a 3 gpm output. Some heaters claim that they can heat up to 3 gallons of water per minute but fall short to 1.5 gpm. And then there are heaters that can actually give you 3 gpm if, and only if, you are in a warm enough state like Arizona. You don’t want this so make sure to read reviews and ask your colleagues about their experiences with certain water heater brands.

Although not as important as the features mentioned above, you can also consider the unit’s design, ease of installation, and parts and service warranty when buying a 3 GPM electric tankless water heater.
