Bosch 2700ES NG Aquastar 7.2 GPM Indoor Tankless Natural Gas Water Heater

Price:$1,100

Bosch have a reputation for quality goods. And that’s usually shown in a slightly more expensive price. So is the extra worth it in this case? Let’s open up the Bosch 2700ES NG Aquastar 7.2 GPM tankless water heater and see for ourselves exactly how competent this system really is.

Bosch claims that their 2700ES NG Aquastar Indoor tankless natural gas water heater can deliver 7.2 gallons per minute, and can also supply hot water to 2 or 3 major appliances at the same time. At size, it is about the standard for the industry at 30 ½ inches high x 17.875 inches wide and 11 ¾ inches deep. But one thing it does supply that is nicer than most tankless systems is a very low minimum 0.65 gallons per minute to initiate heating. This means that if all you need is a very small flow for a job smaller than taking a shower, you still get hot water.

And the fact that this is an indoor rated unit means it is perfect in cold weather climates where outdoor units freeze in extremely low temps. The Bosch 2700ES NG Aquastar also earns you a $300 Federal Tax Credit, so factor that into the low price and you are already making money. You can also expect to save 25% to even 50% in some cases if you are replacing an electric tank system. That means this unit is paying itself off in around 2 or 3 years.

And running 2 or 3 hot water-using appliances at once without getting that hated “cold shower” effect is a cinch. At 19,000 BTU the instant heat is as hot as you want it, and regulating it is possible at the control box, or with the optional Remote Thermostat (Bosch TSTAT2). I recommend the thermostat for ease of use. Just mount it in your main bathroom and you have hands on manipulation electric units don’t offer.

The unit has a flat white color, and is very unobtrusive in a pantry, or bathroom closet. There is a 12 year warranty on the heat exchanger, and a full 2 years on parts, but we think if you look after it you can easily expect 20 or more years from this unit.
