The Bosch tankless water heater has gotten a lot of attention thanks to its tankless design and increased energy efficiency. But, does it live up to the hype? Can it really supply a steady stream of hot water? Is it easy to install? For a full review of the system, keep reading.
Price of the Bosch
Retailing for around $500, the Bosch tankless water heater is significantly cheaper than traditional storage water heaters. However, consumers need to be ready to either spend a couple hundred dollars on installation supplies or as much as a thousand dollars to have the unit professionally installed.
Installation for the Bosch
The Bosch is hard to install, even with directions and a small amount of basic plumbing and electrical knowledge. Instead of sitting on the floor in your basement, the Bosch hangs on the wall. Since it doesn't hold water, you don't need to go heavy duty, but it should be secured.
In total, the tools required for the job are a stud-finder, cordless drill, screwdriver, pipe cutter, pipe wrench, level, tape measure, long straight edge and a hammer.
Once installed, the pilot light needs to be lit - a fairly easy process.
Quality of the Product
The Bosch does what it says - it heats water and fast. It's guaranteed to never run out and after a 45-minute test run, it didn't. Unlike a traditional water heater, where the water is held in a tank and then heated, the Bosch is simply constantly heating water as it runs through the system.
That said, people who install the Bosch in the basement may experience delays on the second floor. It can take anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds for the hot water to make its way upstairs.
Energy Efficiency
Because the Bosch tankless water heater doesn't hold water in a tank and constantly keep it heated, it can save major money on your monthly electric or gas bills. Basically, you only pay for the hot water you use, instead of paying to keep water heated when you're not using it.
