Thermomate Tankless Electric on Demand Hot Water Heater
On January 23, 2026 I ordered a Thermomate Tankless Electric On Demand Instant Hot Water Heater - 240V | 8kW for about $200 to heat the water for a small kitchenette and a powder room. We received it several days later. As our construction project, like all projects, was unpredictable, we couldn't install the model until a little over 30 days after receiving it. The model, which indicates it should be able to reliably heat the water for two faucets, could not heat the water for even one faucet above luke warm and then only if we turned the water pressure way down on the hot water supply line. When I called Thermomate to return the unit, they refused to take it since it was a few days past the 30 return period. Alternatively, I ordered a 40 gal water tank for $400 which works very well. But now I have a useless on demand water heater that I paid $200 for. Next time I'll buy from Home Depot or Lowes or another supplier that has a reasonable return policy of 90 days or so.
