PowerStar Tankless Water Heater Review

The PowerStar tankless water heater is the premier electric hot water heater from Bosch. Looking to save energy and avoid those cold showers? A PowerStar may be the perfect solution.

Besides heating and cooling, your water heater is the largerst consumer of energy you have in your home. With a traditional water heater you are heating large amounts of water and having to use energy 24 hours a day to keep the water at a constant temperature. With a PowerStar tankless hot water heater, water will be heated on demand, saving you a significant amount of energy.

There are two main types of PowerStar water heaters, the whole house water heaters and the point of use.

PowerStar Tankless Whole House Water Heaters

Model AE125

The PowerStar tankless electric water heaters come in two modles, the AE115 and the AE125. The AE125 is deesigned for cooler climates where the ground water is colder than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Model AE115

For those warmar climates where the average ground water is above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the Bosch PowerStar AE115 water heater might be the perfect solution.

When choosing the right PowerStar tankless water heater a lot depends on the tempeture of your ground water. A good rule of thumb is that if you live in the upper 2/3 of the United States it is best to stick with the AE125. The main advantages of using the PowerStar AE125 over the AE115 is that it is able to handle a cooler ground temperature.

The most common problem with whole house tankless hot water heaters has to do with sizing. With a traditional system, oversizing your system can often lead to large, uneeded energy consumption because you are forced to constantly heat the entire tank. When oversizing a tankless system, you dont need to worry about keeping a large amount of water heated because the system only runs on demand. Where it might cost you a little bit more for the larger system your energy useage will be relative to your hot water need. When determining the right system you are far better off oversizing a whole house tankless water heater than running the risk of losing hot water.
