- Airthereal electric tankless water heater installation including electrical work and plumbing with copper, SharkBites and PEX. This 14kW tankless water heater provides unlimited hot water, takes up a small amount of space and saves money on water heating costs. My installation was in the basement and is for an outside hose.

I don't even need this system but I love watching how you go above and beyond the complete break down and installation process. Brilliant job, hats off to you bro.
Man THANK YOU! I've been considering the work necessary to get my house off of natural gas and found this video. Such a good explanation that makes this task seem so much more approachable than I initially expected.
This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
Thank you for posting this, it is the best I've seen for this type of installation.
This video is perfect. I am going to be installing one for my home. I just remodeled my bathroom and put in a jacuzzi tub and a large rain shower head. Showers don't last as long because of the larger shower head and hope the tankless water heater corrects that. Thank you for the video, it was done very well!!
YAY!!!!! I have one to install!!!!!!
Thanks a bunch!!!
A high-power tankless water heater that can provide hot water on demand is a good choice
Great video. Good presentation. Good plumbing principals and sound electrical direction. Great job!
Awesome video. Recently started following you. I have been scared to get into improvement projects on my own because of the "unknown." If I run into something I don't know the answer to or dont have a tool for something. I m going to tackle a small light project in my garage and adding some outlets. I have bene watching all your electrical videos and find those so fascinating and so simple. Love the way you teach. Thanks for putting out content like this for people like me who struggle with getting started. You just make it seem so effortless, and maybe it is for you. Thanks again Tom U
Thanks have to install mine next week
Great video. Thanks!
Great video with very good details.. very nice .. thank you
Thanks
Tankless heaters don’t require pressure relief valves. If the water isn’t moving it’s not on. If it’s on, the water is moving. No tank to over heat and blow.
It's definitely beneficial to add a pressure relief valve and is required in some municipalities.
Great presentation. Thank you. I expect to buy an Airthereal to replace my EcoSmart which I can't seem to get working. Hope you get a cut.
Wow
Question can you run the tankless on 100 amp breaker or do you need to upgrade.
washing your car with hot soapy water gets it done quick i run mine the 18 kw though a foam canon and hot water makes thick foam it even works in the rain
👍 video
great job tank you quick question. if its 60 amp on a 6gauge the chart on line says 50-55 amp on a 6 gauge wire . i guess 60 is not to far of a stretch. what im getting is do i have to get a 4 gauge im planning on having another 220v 20 amp to power a car lift and another 220v 40 amp miller 211 welder. please any tips will be very help full.
I would definitely recommend what they say to use. I understand you don't want to buy different wire, but if someone goes wrong, you want to make sure you installed the water heater the way they said to do it.
Thanks for this video. What part of the country do you live in? I'm in Kentucky and it gets very cold here in the winter. I've heard the cold water temp needs to be considered before installing an electric heater.
I live about 25 miles north of Pittsburgh. I am sure you are right about considering the cold water temperature. These are used all over the world, especially in Europe so I am sure some thought has been put into their engineering. I would guess that if the cold water is especially cold, maybe just buy a larger unit to ensure enough hot water is provided at one time.
@@brettleybuilt gotcha, how large is your house and how many baths does this supply hot water to?
Where does the the end of the pipe from the presure relief valve go?
Generally the pipe just goes along the side of the tank and terminates a few inches off the floor and doesn't tie into a drain pipe or anything else. In my experience, the tank has rusted out or stopped working before a dangerous situation occurred and the pressure relief valve blew and water shot all over the floor.
@@brettleybuilt the issue with that is that it will drain out into my condo and ruin my floors and drywall randomly in the middle of the night
Dumb question. If used for shower. When you feed cold in to the heater. How do you split cold so that same line goes to the shower? Preferably without losing pressure (not all of it)
You have to split the cold line so one cold line goes to the cold side of the shower faucet and the other cold line goes to the water heater.
How do you winterize this system?
I won't need to winterize this as it's in my house, but if you installed it in a hunting cabin or something, then you just shut off the breaker, turn off the water to the heater, and drain the lines.
What's the power consumption on something like this?
it uses quite a bit of power. Just for comparison, a microwave is typically around 1100 watts, this unit is 14,000 watts! Luckily it only uses power when it is heating.
@@brettleybuilt thanks. That is quite a bit, doable on solar, but not cheaply.
Why not solder on fittings instead of the sharkbite? Just convenience of not having to remove all that water in your line?
I had some work down on my service line that had a sharkbite fitting on it which was done by previous owner. The plumbers said this wouldn’t pass inspection from city and also they wouldn’t trust this fitting as I am finishing my basement.
Soldering pipes is the best way to do it, but this set up is only temporary in my basement. There might be a reason why the shark bite wouldn't pass inspection being on your service line, or the plumbers think they are the only people on the planet who know anything about plumbing and want to spout off their opinion about certain fittings. I have never had an issue with shark bite connectors, but I absolutely will not put them behind a wall.
What type of Romex do u use
Just the Romex from Home Depot and Lowe's.
@@brettleybuilt any gauge specific
How many GPM..
Its pretty small. I think about a gallon and a half per minute
