What it delivers
The Eemax EEM24036 36 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater is a whole-house electric tankless rated at 36 kW on 240 volts.
Flow depends on how cold the incoming water is. Our estimate from its input: 5.5 GPM at a 45°F rise, falling to 3.5 GPM at 70°F, which is 1 shower at 2 GPM on a cold-climate winter day. Check your house in the planner.
At 240 volts 36 kW is about 150 amps. Whether your panel can carry it alongside heating and cooking loads is an electrician's call. On its own it takes more than 60% of a 200-amp service.
No flue, no gas line and a compact box on the wall; the trade-off is that a cold winter inlet cuts its flow sharply.
Also on the listing: features: Self-Modulating Technology; material: Stainless Steel; model: EEM24036; warranty: 5 years for leaks and 1 year for parts.
Warranty, per the listing: 5 years for leaks and 1 year for parts.
