if this is one of those to open the valve and hot water cones out, it only uses electricity when the valve is open and at the rate of 750w / 110 v or about 7 amps…….or, if you ran it for one hour 750 watts,,,,,,the equivalent of 10 75 watt light bulbs.
But notice the qualifier…..it only uses energy when you open the valve and water flows thru it, tripping the on switch. Otherwise it is inert.
I run a 75 unit condo complex and we replaced all our tank water heaters, which try and keep 20-40 gallons of water at 110 degrees 24/7/365, with instant hot water heaters, which only use electricity when you open the hot water taps…..result? 25% drop in electric bills.
