Being one of the largest in the EcoSmart electric tankless water heater series, the Eco 27 is a popular choice for larger households. It still has a compact design and the energy-saving self-regulating module but this time with a much greater capacity.

Looking for an energy-efficient water heater that is capable of providing hot water for your entire house without taking up too much space? Then read on for more details on the Eco 27.

EcoSmart recommends the Eco 27 model for the colder regions up north. At a low groundwater temperature of just 37°F it is still capable of providing hot water for a shower and two sinks, running simultaneously.

For the warmer climates in the southern states, its flow rate, activation flow and instant heating together is suitable for a hot tub or other water feature that needs continuous high volumes of hot water. Check out their map for recommended sizing in the different areas of the United States.

On the main unit you will find a digital temperature display for both Fahrenheit and Celsius. You can adjust the temperature manually by 1° increments using the turning knob right below the display.

As all the other modules in the same series, the Eco 27 has the patented self-modulating technology that has made this brand famous. This is a special feature that saves energy – it automatically adjusts the energy usage to the set temperature and how much water you are using.

Endless Hot Water with Greater Efficiency

Endless Hot Water with Greater Efficiency

Tankless water heaters are known for being energy efficient because they only warm up water as it is flowing through. Inside the main unit are heating elements which instantly spikes up the water temperature of cold water coming in so that water at the desired temperature flows out.

Since there is no tank, no energy is lost to heating water that is not being used. It is also a speedy process so there is no limit to how much hot water can flow through as long as you install the appropriate size.

So, what EcoSmart has done is further develop an already efficient technology into something that has nearly no loss of energy. Energy saved means money saved.

Advantages of the EcoSmart Eco 27 Tankless Water Heater

Advantages of the EcoSmart Eco 27 Tankless Water Heater

What sets the Eco 27 apart from the other products in the series is its size and performance. Its flow rate of 6 gallons per minute is impressive for its small size and good enough for larger households.

It is also suitable for both warmer and colder climates making this a versatile appliance. You also get full control over its wide temperature range, 80°F – 140°F, with precise increments of just 1°.

You tend to lose some of the efficiency in larger models but that is not the case here since it still rates at 99% efficiency. This can lead to monthly savings of up to 50%.

Each purchase comes with a limited lifetime warranty showing you that the manufacturer paid close attention to the lifespan of its products. Each unit has easily replaceable parts that could fall under the warranty.

Disadvantages of the EcoSmart Eco 27 Tankless Water Heater

Disadvantages of the EcoSmart Eco 27 Tankless Water Heater

Always check with a professional whether the electric requirements of this product match with circuitry in your house. This particular model requires a 200-amp breaker which not every home is equipped for so certain adjustments might be necessary.

Though it comes with a lifetime warranty, this is limited to spare parts so labor is not included. Since a professional installment and maintenance is required to meet the warranty conditions, you’ll need to set aside a small budget for labor costs.

Depending on your region, electric water heaters may be more expensive to run than one using natural gas. If that is the case, take a look at the EcoSmart ESG tankless series using natural gas.

The Verdict of the EcoSmart Eco 27 Tankless Water Heater

Advantages of the EcoSmart Eco 27 Tankless Water Heater

Overall, the Eco 27 is a very impressive product. It has a high flow rate of up to 6 GPM which is enough for several showers and sinks running simultaneously. This is a great choice for a larger household that does not want to waste space with point-of-use water heaters.

Also, EcoSmart is able to deliver high quality and performance at a very friendly price making this a reliable budget option that will last decades.
