Tempra 36 Plus Install

This video goes through my replacement of 2 40gal electric water heaters in series to a single Stiebel Eltron Tempra Plus 36KW all electric heater. The video walks through uninstalling the tanks, installing the tankless and wiring the electrical for the tankless. This is only for entertainment and you should use a plumber and electrician for the install.

The reason for the change was two fold; One the electric tanks are 12+ years old and are getting close to replacement time. Two, I'm hoping to decrease my electric bill and have this changed paid for within 2 years.

I did run into an electrical issue after the install the Emporia Vue2 helped me find. Without it, I would have thought the Tempra just couldn't do what it advertised.

I'm in the Southeast and incoming water is ~55F and I can achieve ~3gpm before the Tempra water regulator starts decreasing hot water flow to meet the outgoing water temp of 130F. I'll be experimenting lowering the temp to see if I can achieve a higher gpm and still meet individual's wants for water temp. I'll update in a few months on how it effects my electric bill.
