Like all Tempra Series tankless water heaters, the Tempra 12 Trend features true microprocessor-controlled temperature regulation and dial selector which allows you to set the desired output water temperature at any level between 68 and 140F (20 and 60C).
It is one of the only tankless water heaters on the market that features a true thermostatic temperature control and full power-modulation based on both the incoming water temperature and the water flow rate.
The Tempra 12 Trend will automatically adjust its power output to accommodate changes in the incoming water temperature and flow rate so it can precisely maintain the desired output temperature. The result is the most precise temperature control of any tankless water heater on the market today!
The trend towards increased energy efficiency is here to stay with the Tempra 12. Join the Tempra trend today.

Some codes require use of electrical sub-panel for installation, especially when heater is not mounted within line-of-sight of the main electrical panel. Wiring should be sized to maintain a voltage drop of less than 3% under load. Please consult your electrician for more details.
Please note: A minimum 100 AMP household electrical service is highly recommended and will likely be required to install this model. If you are unsure of your electrical capacity in your home, please consult your electrician or contact us for assistance before ordering.

Owner
excellent product. easy to operate, user friendly - Chep Hon
Great Replacement
We had another manufacturers units for 10 or more years. Those units had plastic heat chambers that both began to leak at a mold seam. I chose the Steibel unit primarily because of the copper tank. The instillation was very easy and the single unit is able to keep up with our DHW needs. My only comment is that I wish E-Tankless Water Heaters had offered a faster shipping method. I would have gladly paid extra to have the unit faster than the 2 weeks it took to get it from BC to NB. I should have inquired about shipping options. We were looking at Christmas without hot water, thankfully the unit arrived on the 23rd and I was able to install it the next day. Could not be happier with the overall experience and product. - Richard Harris

Hot water
We love our Stiebel Tempra 20. Have paired it with a Hague water softener and are very pleased with the result. - Sandpiper
Tankless water heater
Good product, had previously purchased from Tankless in Florida, which worked well for 8 years. Installation not to difficult, following the instructions. I chose product for good price and European experience with good workmanship. hope this one will last long. - Roger

Tempra 29 Tankless Heater
Simple to install (already had electrical in place), performs as advertised. So far, very pleased. - Bob P
Steibel 15
Installed the unit according to the directions and it did not work at first. I think because the water pressure needed time to reach normal in the unit. It now works fine to heat our master bath fixtures - Stephen K
E Tankless Water Heater
Love it, works great & company very helpful when ordering. - Janice
Great heater
When my home was built 25 years ago, this was the hot water heater. You might be thinking that a hot water heater should justifiably last an easy 25 years. I have well water, and 1 filter before the heater. This statement says more. I absolutely had to get the same one. It is a little taller so a tiny bit of plumbing and tada, easy to install. I am pretty old fashioned so the extra options are not important to me, but all I did was set it to 110 degrees with the dial, done.
In 25 years I will get another if it is needed. I had a GE tank break after 2 years and the insurance stuck it to me. Personally I am so very sick of garbage on the market. This unit in my home has a proven track record and I am all about proof. - Steve A
stiebel eletron tempra 15 trend tankless water heater
Heater is working flawlessly. Excellent quality. Very good instructions for installing heater. The unit is for one full bathroom (tub and sink). I live in southern Maryland and the water heater keeps the water a constant 115 degrees at 2.8GPM with no issues. Thanks - Vincent Beatrez
Finally we have UNLIMITED Hot Water, Thank you e-tankless!
Our water heater is in the garage and our Master Bath is on the other side of the house. We have a Taco recirc pump but our 66 gallon water heater tank couldn't provide enough hot water for long relaxing showers. We bought the 29B (refurb) from e-Tankless. It looked brand new, came in the original packaging. It was fairly expensive ($2,100 USD) to run new 125A service to support this water heater but I am so glad we did. We now have endless hot water! I would recommend buying the isolation valve kit so you can easily flush the unit annually. I would highly recommend e-tankless! - Todd Simmons
Worth it
My old waterheater was in my attic which daily made me nervous to have 50 gallons that could leak at any time. I upgraded to tankless and I am very impressed the hot water works better much better now. - Shawn Lawson
Tankless
Tankless So far it’s working great. If it goes well I will order four more for my other units - Mario Tridente
Excellent solution for on demand hot water
This purchase is a replacement for the previous model of the same specs we had installed in our condo about 15 years ago. The electrical elements do wear out in about 15 years, so we installed a replacement unit. The new unit is smaller and has a better screen than the old one. It works wonderfully, and we are just as happy with this one as we were with its predecessot. -
Replacing on older Steibel Eltron unit
After about 15 years of faithful service my older model Steibel Ultron tankless water heater stopped heating the water effectively (lime scale). This new unit (Tempra 29) is the newest edition of the prior model.
No issues installing although the size and spacing of the water inlets/outlets differed meaning a little extra work. New unit works like a charm now - Jeff
Stiebel-Eltron Tempra 29B
Great price and great service. I installed it right away and it has been working flawlessly for a month now. - Master DIYer
