A buddy of mine purchased this thing 5??ish years ago but never installed it.
It's a "Sets" brand electric tankless water heater.
Besides the massive amount of electricity this thing requires, is it even worth the trouble to install it?
I've read some bad reviews AND the company is out of business. I'm guessing they were one of he fly-by-night outfits that have given tankless a bad name.
We have been contemplating building a second bath with walk-in shower for my aging mother in law. Part of the plan is to make room by removing the gas water heater and installing a tankless.
She is on a budget so the price of this heater was just right. I have been setting aside fixtures from friends taking out perfectly good items for aesthetic reasons - toilet, vanity etc.
It may be oversized (if that is possible) for her 1 bath (2 if I install this or another) small three bedroom 1 level cape cod style house. Just her living there.
It requires a 100 amp breaker at the main box and a sub panel with a 60 amp breaker and another quad breaker. So not even sure the box she as can accommodate this unit. Although we have been contemplating an upgrade anyway.
