Titan Water Heaters

Have you ever gone to have a shower on a cold winter’s morning, only to turn the faucet on and find that the hot water has run out? It is not a very nice early morning experience to have! The solution to that problem, especially if it occurs on a regular basis, is to install a Titan water heater. Titan water heaters runoff electricity and are able to heat up water on demand. So whenever you need hot water you will have it.

There are various models of heaters available, ranging from small 3.0 Kw models all the way up to the hefty 36 Kw model that is able to effectively heat up enough water for your entire home with ease. When deciding on what size of heater to buy you will need to first of all determine what size and type of water heater your home’s electrical system will support. The bigger models will run on 220 to 220 volts while the smaller models will run on 115 to 120 volts. If you are not sure how to calculate this you may want to call an electrician or have someone who is familiar with electrical wiring and electrical systems determine this for you.

Prices for these units also range according the size of the hot water heater. Naturally, the larger heaters are usually more expensive. One of the more common large units bought, the Tempra 29 Plus Stiebel Eltron Tankless Water Heater, costs around $800. If you are not able to install the heating unit yourself you should add installation costs to that figure. This size of water heater will effectively heat hot water for any home that uses two applications at the same time. That means you could have two showers running, or the dishwasher and a plumbed mini water cooler, without feeling any fluctuation in the water temperature or pressure. A smaller unit that you could install above your kitchen sink is much cheaper, for example the SCR2 N-10 Titan Tankless Water Heater, which only costs around $240.

When deciding on what size of water heater to buy you will need to determine what it will be used for, how large an area or how many appliances will be used at the same time, and then confirm that your electrical system will support the size you would like to buy.
