- How much electrical service does the SHiE-27 need?
- It runs on 240V and draws high current, so it needs one or more large dedicated breakers and correctly sized wiring. A licensed electrician should confirm your panel can carry it.
- Is it good for a whole house?
- It can serve a whole home when sized for your climate and fixtures. In cold regions the incoming water temperature lowers output, so check the flow rate you need.
- Does it work with hard water?
- It will work, but scale can build on the elements. A water softener or regular descaling helps protect performance and element life.
- Can I install it myself?
- Most owners hire a licensed electrician and plumber. The electrical circuit and plumbing connections are not typical DIY work.
- How is it different from a tank heater?
- It heats on demand with no storage tank, so it never runs out and takes less wall space. The trade-off is a larger electrical requirement and no hot water during a power outage.
