I have (had) a Steibel Eltron Tempra 36. I installed it 2 years ago. It was correctly wired w/ 3 60-amp circuits, 6ga wire with ground. Today, one of the circuit boards caught on fire. It was only by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ himself that it happened when my girl was in the basement putting laundy in the dryer. I kid you not. The unit literally went POP and ignited when she was standing next to it, while the unit was not in use (no hot water being generated by the unit). As flames were shooting out of the unit, she was able to get a fire extinguisher and put the fire out by completely drenching the unit. Steibel-Eltron will warrantee the unit, but frankly I'm hesitant to install such a unit again. If my girl wasn't home today, I would have come home today to no home whatsoever. Unfortunately, I do not have NG available, as I live in the boonies. I may switch to a Bosch AE125 instead.

Much better unit than American Tankless company, AH-27 top of the line unit which does not heat water, refuses to answer phone calls, returns certified mail unopened, and sends broken pieces.

We are on our second Tempra 36. Not because we had a problem with the first one, but because we had one in our house in Virginia and when we moved to Oklahoma and built a new house, it was the first thing we purchased. We have never had any problem with this tankless and recommend it to everyone we know. With four children, countless showers and loads of laundry, it has never let us down. If you're looking for a dependable tankless, this is it. Stiebel Eltron TEMPRA 36 Electronically Controlled Tankless Water HeaterStiebel Eltron TEMPRA36 Whole House Electric Tankless Water Heater

I am now on my second one (first one died and had to be un-installed and sent back all at my expense) of these which is now not working!!! They don't have repair staff to come out and fix them either, they just assume you have a collection of tools and hours of time to try to trouble shoot the piece of junk. Mine was installed by licensed plumbers and electricians so not an installation problem. Buy another brand!

In remodeling my kitchen I found I needed to move my refrigerator to where my 50 gallon water heater sat, so I decided to go tankless. I bought the Stiebel Eltron Tempra 36 from AMAZON (Compact Appliance) for a little over $700.00 (Great Price!), upgraded my home to 400 AMP service, mounted the Tempra 36 to a wall in my washroom, removed my existing water heater, plumbed all hot & cold water lines to/from the Tempra 36, ran three 35 foot lengths of 6 gauge wire (X2 hot + ground) from the Tempra 36 to my new breaker panel and connected with three 60 AMP two pole breakers. I fired the beast up after ensuring I had no leaks and lo and behold, NEARLY SCALDING HOT WATER!! ONLY WHEN I WANT IT!! I am a 100% do-it-your-selfer and believe me, this tankless water heater was simple to install and connect. IT SHOULD PAY FOR ITSELF WITHIN ONE YEAR'S TIME!! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT!!
