What it delivers
The Stiebel Eltron Tempra 15 Trend 14.4 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater is a compact electric tankless rated at 14.4 kW on 240 volts. Its listing gives a maximum flow of 1.5 GPM.
Expect about 1.4 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. Size it to your fixtures.
At 240 volts 14.4 kW is about 60 amps. Whether your panel can carry it alongside heating and cooking loads is an electrician's call.
Electric tankless units need no venting and no gas, and work best where inlet water stays mild, because every degree of rise costs flow.
Listed details: features: LED Display; material: Copper; model: Tempra 15 Trend.
The listing gives dimensions of 16.63 in (W) x 14.5 in (H) and a weight of 16.1 lb.
