What this means is you can have several hot showers going at the same time and not need to worry about temperature changes.

More about the Tempra 36

The Stiebel Eltron Tempra 36 Plus is designed to replace your old tank heater and should be able to handle even the largest houses without a problem. Since this is their largest tankless water heater, it is ideal for houses, condos, apartments and even small commercial applications too.

It has a space-saving form-factor design, features the latest in heater technology and has great energy-saving features. It can handle up to 8 gallons of water per minute and is one of the most powerful water heaters available today. It is a 36kw unit and is mainly used in high flow-rate situations or cold temperature areas. Since it is 99% efficient you will easily save 10 to 20 percent of your home’s electricity bill if you replace your old heater with this one.

One of the worst things is to have cold water one second and boiling hot water the next. We’ve all experienced that and it’s no fun. The Tempra 36’s temperature regulation is microprocessor-controlled and this ensures consistency, accuracy and precise control over the temperature you want. The dial and LCD display allow you to select between a range of 86 and 140F. Additionally, it will automatically compensate for higher or lower incoming temperatures or any changes in the flow rate too. Smart.

Obviously it does this by adjusting the temperature of the thermostat to maintain the same temperature at all times. However, when the flow rate of the water gets too high, the unit will adjust the pressure so the heater is not overtaxed. This prevents you from having to purchase a big, expensive heater to handle occasional flow rate peaks.

Compared to gas-type heaters, this unit is cheaper to buy, easier to install, requires no venting, is way more efficient, uses less energy and heats up quicker. It’s heating is done in 3 stages to provide maximum versatility and speed when heating water of varying pressures and temperatures. This allows it to handle the crazy demands of two showers and a kitchen sink with ease. Since it is a tankless heater it is not subject to seismic code whatsoever so you don’t have to do any extra construction.

As always your tankless hot water heaters should be installed by a qualified installer. If you need one, you can click here to get a free quote on installation.

Stiebel Eltron’s reputation is unparalleled so you can rest assured that the Tempra 36 will last you many years of unhindered service. It comes with a 3-year warranty on all the parts so you can be sure that they stand by their word. They have been making electric heaters since 1924 but the Stiebel Eltron Tempra 36 Plus sets a new standard for tankless water heaters.

This is electric, so it will cost a little less to install. But really when it comes to gas or electric you should choose what is best for your home. So don’t get seduced into buying electric if you already have gas installed and it turns out it will be cheaper to run.

Another nice little feature we like is that this heater takes up very little space. So those of you in apartments or for some other reason have limited space will really appreciate this.
