27 kW at 240 V

The heating power the listing states. At 240 V it draws about 113 A. That's the line to show your electrician before anything else: the panel decides whether this fits, not the shower.

What it has going for it

What changes in the morning shower rush

Self-modulating. It draws only the power the flow and the setpoint need, instead of slamming every element on. Steadier temperature, and no wasted amps on a summer afternoon.

Warm tap water or a cold January?

Warm tap water: where it comes in around 62 °F (much of the South), 27 kW gives about 4.3 GPM of 105 °F water on our calculator's maths. That's two 2 GPM showers at once.

A cold January: where it comes in at 42 °F, it's about 2.9 GPM, one 2 GPM shower at a time. Up north, that's the figure to size against, and it's why the honest answer is sometimes a second unit or gas.

Great for you if…

  • Your house has no gas and a 200 A panel with room to spare
  • You want the shower temperature to stay put

Skip it if…

  • Your panel is 100 A or already busy: 27 kW at 240 V is about 113 A on its own
  • You want a long review record: only 4 buyer reviews so far

Power, wiring and what's in the box

What the Garvee 27 kW Electric (240V) listing names:

  • 27 kW
  • 240 V
  • Self-modulating
  • Digital display

Breakers and wire gauge are in the installation manual, and it overrides anything above; your electrician reads it first.

Price and cost per kW

$192.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each kW of stated heating power works out at about $7.15 (price ÷ stated kW, our arithmetic). That puts it in the cheaper third of the 27 whole-house electric tankless heaters we have a price and a stated power for.

The online price is the heater alone. New double-pole breakers, heavy-gauge wire and the electrician's visit are extra, and an older panel may need an upgrade first.

A better fit for your house and panel?

Colder tap water where you live? The WINTEMP WN-36kW Electric, 240V (8.1/10) is rated 36 kW.

Panel short on spare amps? The Rheem 18 kW Electric, 240V (9.3/10) is rated 18 kW, about 75 A at 240 V.

Only one sink far from the heater? The ThermoMate 14 kW Electric, 240V (7.9/10) is a 14 kW point-of-use unit.

Our take

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the Garvee 27 kW Electric (240V) is 27 kW at 240 V, closely followed by an element that only draws what it needs. Only 4 buyers have rated it so far (4.7/5), so treat the score as an early read. The catch with this Garvee electric tankless heater: no word on the breakers it needs or the flow. We'd pick it if your house has no gas and a 200 A panel with room to spare; otherwise, put it next to the Bosch Tronic 6100 (18 kW) first.

Living with it

Install day

New breakers, the unit on the wall next to the old tank's spot, water in and out. An electrician does the panel side.

The first shower

Hot in a few seconds once the water in the pipes has passed, and the power steps up and down with the flow (self-modulating, per the listing). Set it, then leave it.

The first winter

With 42 °F water coming in, 27 kW gives about 2.9 GPM at 105 °F on our calculator's maths. Low-flow shower heads stretch that further.

Upkeep

Clean the inlet screen and flush out scale on hard water. Our flushing and descaling guide has the routine.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.7/5, an excellent record, well above our ranked picks' 4.3 average. Only 4 reviews so far, and our formula damps averages built on fewer than 50.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Garvee 27 kW Electric (240V), check your panel: 27 kW at 240 V is roughly 113 A, so an electrician should look at the panel first.

Before you buy

Your panel

Take a photo of the panel label (main breaker size and free slots) and send it to the electrician with the listing. Our electrical requirements guide explains what they will look for.

Your winter flow

On our calculator's maths, 27 kW gives about 2.9 GPM with 42 °F winter water and 4.3 GPM with 62 °F water. Our flow-rate calculator does it for your region.

The install

Hardwired 240 V work needs a licensed electrician and often a permit. Our install cost guide shows what usually ends up on the quote.

Scale

Hard water still builds up on the elements and the inlet screen. Our flushing and descaling guide covers the routine.

The listing states 240 V and 27 kW. At 240 V, that is roughly 113 A. A licensed electrician checks the panel, the breakers and the wiring before it goes on the wall.

What do you get with the Garvee 27 kW Electric (240V)?

Its listing states 27 kW of heating power and self-modulating power. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how steady the temperature is in your shower and how it copes with your winter water can't be read from a listing.
