Planning to build a tiny house without a basement and probably no garage means I really don’t want to waste space for a water heater. Of course we also want to try to cut utility costs, while still making sure we have enough hot water for an entire family. While Europe has been using tankless water heaters for decades, the U.S. is just beginning to catch onto the idea.

The Stiebel Eltron DHC-E 30 Tankless Electric Water Heater comes with electronic water temperature control, uses less energy saving you up to 20% on your utility bill, takes up very little space, and is even seismic proof so there is no preventive construction needed for seismic codes. You can read more about this particular model after the jump:

Unlimited Supply of Hot Water. Keeps heating water instantly as you require. The
DHC-E system completely replaces a conventional tank heater with no disruption
to your comfort and hot water needs.

Saves Energy and Reduces Your Electric Bill. Electric tank type water heaters
are subject to standby losses which amount to 15 - 20% of the kWh used. Changing
to a tankless system results in savings of 15 - 20%.

Sleek Design Saves Space. The DHC-E takes up considerably less space than conventional
tank type water tanks and saves valuable living space.

Control Temperature Simply by Setting a Dial. Set the knob on the front cover
and enjoy water temperatures between 86°F (30°C) and 125°F (52°C).

Change the desired temperature at anytime. Advanced microprocessor technology
ensures that the water temperature never deviates from the set point.

Proven Reliability Backed by a Three Year Warranty. STIEBEL ELTRON has an enviable
track record of engineering excellence and product quality. The three years parts
warranty is unique in the industry. You can depend on the DHC-E for many years
to come.

Seismic Proof Construction. DHC-E is a tankless water heater system, and is thereby
not subject to seismic code. There is no need for preventative construction, as
required when using a tank type water heater.
