  • Introducing the Latest in Energy Saving Products from Stiebel Eltron
  • ebuild (7/21/2009)
  • The new Accelera 300 reduces hot water costs up to 80%. Heat pumps have been around for decades, but a heat pump water heater is a brand new concept. The Accelera 300 works like an air conditioner but instead of dumping the heat outdoors, it puts it into the 80 gal tank of water. Additionally, it cools and dehumidifies the surrounding air and the tank insulation minimizes stand-by losses.
  • Prestige Programmable Thermostat
