EcoSmart ECO 36 Review
Easy to use, Very adjustable, and Self-Modulating
Though you need hot water for cooking meals, washing yourself and cleaning your home, some water heaters are better than others. Tankless models do not have the large tank that other models do and let you save money on heating costs. Water moves over heated coils to reach the temperature that you desire. The EcoSmart ECO 36 36kw 240V Electric is one of the excellent tankless water heaters we’ve seen. It can help you save significantly on your water heating bills and also save on the space that your old product used.

Is This The Tankless Water Heater For You?
Ecosmart’s top of the line is also the best on the market.
It’s almost scary how much better than the competition the ECO 36 is. In every regard it outclasses every other electric water heater I could find: and does it cheaper.
I’d be wary of trusting that information blind (as the saying goes: if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is) but my first hand experience with Ecosmart’s Eco series (the ECO 27 is the model I’ve used the longest) tells me it’s no bluff.
Final Verdict
Now that you know more about the EcoSmart ECO 36 36kw 240V Electric, you can feel confident making an informed decision as to whether it’s the best choice for your own home. We like that this because it has a digital display screen, an easy-to-use temperature adjustment knob and that it can provide an endless stream of hot water for running two showers at the same time.
