(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/carbonsw/public_html/carbonswitchcms/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114We spent dozens of hours researching the best tankless water heaters<\/a> on the market. Like all of our guides, we hope the tankless water heater reviews below will save you time, a few headaches, and money on your utility bill. So without further ado, let’s get started.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We looked at every tankless water heater on the market and our favorite is the Rheem Performance 27 kw (5.6 GPM)<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n Here are the top reasons why we think it’s the best tankless water heater:<\/p>\n Compared to the EcoSmart 27 kw<\/a><\/strong>, one of the top selling tankless water heaters on the market, it is a bit more expensive ($30 more). But in digging deeper we found a lot of customer complaints for the EcoSmart 27kw and started looking more into the product quality, warranty and customer service experience.<\/p>\n Rheem’s corrosion resistant components last longer What is hard water you ask? Well in America most water supplies have minerals that can build up in a hot water heater and ultimately corrode the tank. <\/p>\n EcoSmart’s tankless water heaters by contrast are made of copper, which means they can corrode quickly. And while they claim to have a lifetime warranty, it’s important to read the fine print. <\/p>\n Here’s what EcoSmart’s warranty<\/a> says: “SUCH WARRANTIES DO NOT COVER: Product failure caused by liming, sediment buildup, chemical corrosion, chlorine\/chloride corrosion, or freezing.”<\/p>\n If your EcoSmart does corrode then customer service will tell you that you should have soaked the heating components in vinegar every six months (which is quite the inconvenience). <\/p>\n And that’s why the internet is full of bad reviews on EcoSmart’s products like this: “I wish I had never bought this product. I’ve had to replace the heater elements twice in about 3 years at cost of about $250 for the parts ($85 for 2 elements) plus labor for each incident. I have sunk about a $1,000 into this unit and more failures are to come.”<\/p>\n Rheem’s tankless water heaters aren’t perfect. But they receive consistently higher ratings than EcoSmart tankless water heaters. And that’s largely due to their build quality. <\/p>\n The company that claims to offer the highest quality product is Stiebel, a German-based manufacturer. <\/p>\n We compared the Rheem Performance 27 kw to the Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 Plus<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n At $620 the Stiebel tankless water heater is $115 more than the Rheem and $145 more than the EcoSmart. <\/p>\n Like the Rheem, the Stiebel Eltron Tempra is built with corrosion resistant materials. So it’s a better option than the EcoSmart. <\/p>\n But at a price premium of $115 we don’t think it’s worth it given that the quality is similar to the Rheem. <\/p>\n If you want to see all of the tankless water heaters we reviewed and their prices, check out the table below.<\/p>\nThe best tankless water heater<\/h3>\n
