The Richmond Essential™ RMTEX-04 is a 3.5 kW tankless electric water heater ideal for low flow point-of-use applications. Typically this unit is installed at the point-of-use and hard wired to 120 volts requiring a 30-amp breaker. Richmond Essential™ tankless electric water heaters offer a continuous, endless supply of hot water. A lower kilowatt unit can provide hot water on demand for single or multiple point-of-use applications while a higher kilowatt unit could provide hot water for a whole house depending on the inlet ground water temperature. Tankless electric water heaters save space, save energy, save money, and require no venting. The sleek, compact size, 90 percent smaller than a tank, allows you to save space and place the unit wherever you want, including under a sink. Tankless units only draw energy when hot water is flowing, while traditional tanks are constantly drawing energy to keep the water in the tank at the desired temperature.
