What it delivers
The Stiebel Eltron 202145 9.6 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater is a compact electric tankless rated at 9.6 kW on 240 volts.
Expect about 0.9 GPM with cold winter water (a 70°F rise) and 1.5 GPM when the inlet is milder (45°F rise); that is less than one 2 GPM shower in January. Check your house in the planner.
At 240 volts 9.6 kW is about 40 amps. A licensed electrician confirms the panel, the service and the wire before it goes in.
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.
Listed details: model: 202145.
The listing gives dimensions of 8 in (W) x 14.12 in (H).
