My electrician recommended the RA32. I have 3 teenagers and live in an all electric neighborhood. Needless to say, I never got a hot shower. Now everyone gets plenty of hot water,including me. We had company at the house and everyone was amazed that they had enough hot water. I am recommending Seisco to all my neighbors. Six months now, and I am saving over 24% on my electric bill to boot. Goodbye heavy, smelly tank. Hello hot water

Avoid this company like the plaque. You need to plan on spending $200 every 3 to 4 years for repairs. As another reviewer stated their warranty is terrible. Parts are expensive and their shipping is riiculous. I have had to same part fail me twice and had a customer service rep admit that they had a manufacture problem with some of those parts, but still insisted I pay $117 dollars for parts and $75 dollars shipping overnight. And the worst part is the part wasn't shipped overnight. Said there was some confusion, but still demanded I pay $75 dollars shipping. Again do not buy from this company they will not stand behind their product.

If you are planning to purchase a Seisco Tankless Water Heater, you might just prefer just to flush your cash down the toilet. We have had one for just over a year and have had trouble 3 times. When you need parts, plan on paying for them and paying for shipping. There is not much of a warranty and customer service is very kind but ineffective. We love the idea of tankless but made a very poor decision going with this company. Please do not make the mistake we did unless you like a cold shower.

I had this installed in May 2007 to provide hot water for my showers, dishwasher, etc. I was worried about using an electric tankless water heater, because I assumed that gas tankless would have been better. However, I didn't want to pay to run a gas line to my house, so I installed the biggest electric I could find. It is great. It provides plenty of hot water. 10 people in a row can shower and you won't run out of hot water, because you aren't relying on a tank. I never noticed a jump in my electric bill during the summer. Last winter my electric bill went up around $10, my guess is that the tankless water heater was requiring more power to heat the colder incoming water, but it's hard to be sure. Even so, it's much cheaper than what I was doing, which was an oil-fired water heater tank. People are so obsessed with their 'carbon footprint' and saving energy...so start with the basics: stop heating a tank of water 24 hours per day.
