24 kW at 240 V

The heating power the listing states. At 240 V it draws about 100 A, and the listing asks for 3 × 40 A double-pole breakers on 8 AWG wire. Show that to your electrician first. Whether your panel has the room is the whole question, and the shower comes second.

What it has going for it

What changes in the morning shower rush

5.55 GPM max. That is the headline figure, usually at a modest temperature rise. Our calculator counts a shower at 2 GPM, so think one shower and a sink at a time, maybe two showers where the water comes in warm.

Wi-Fi app. Set the temperature, see the flow and get error codes on your phone, which beats reading a blinking code in the crawl space.

Warm tap water or a cold January?

Warm tap water: where it comes in around 62 °F (much of the South), 24 kW gives about 3.8 GPM of 105 °F water on our calculator's maths. That's one 2 GPM shower at a time.

A cold January: where it comes in at 42 °F, it's about 2.6 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…

You live somewhere the tap water never gets icy
You like to see what your appliances are doing

Skip it if…

You want self-modulating power: the listing doesn't say it modulates
You want a long review record: only 21 buyer reviews so far
Your panel is already close to full: 24 kW is about 100 A at 240 V

What Westinghouse promises

The seller states, word for word, in the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric (240V) listing:

Starting flow rate: 0.79 GPM.
The electric tankless water heater 240v 24kw features a powerful heating system.
The 24kW 240V instant tankless water heater electric is designed for residential, efficiently meeting the hot water needs in the bathroom, kitchen, or office restroom.

The seller's claims, quoted as written; we haven't measured any of it. The flow at your winter rise is in the maker's chart, not in the bullet points.

Price and cost per kW

$499.99 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 $20.83 (price ÷ stated kW, our arithmetic). That puts it around the middle of the 27 whole-house electric tankless heaters we have a price and a stated power for.

Budget for the electrician as well: 3 × 40 A double-pole breakers, thick wire from the panel and, if the panel is full, an upgrade.

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

What we'd buy the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric (240V) for is a 5.55 GPM maximum flow, with 24 kW at 240 V as a bonus. Only 21 buyers have rated it so far (4.9/5), so treat the score as an early read. The catch with this Westinghouse electric tankless heater: no stated self-modulation, while most picks here have it. We'd pick it if you live somewhere the tap water never gets icy; otherwise, put it next to the Westinghouse 18 kW Electric (240V) first.

Living with it

Install day

3 new 40 A breakers, 8 AWG wire, 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. Set it, then leave it.

The first winter

With 42 °F water coming in, 24 kW gives about 2.6 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 4.9/5, an excellent record, well above our ranked picks' 4.3 average. Only 21 reviews so far, and our formula damps averages built on fewer than 50.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric (240V), check your panel: it asks for 3 × 40 A double-pole breakers and 8 AWG wire, 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, 24 kW gives about 2.6 GPM with 42 °F winter water and 3.8 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric (240V) any good?

We rate it 4.8/10 (fair). It is based on 21 buyer reviews averaging 4.9/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.

How much hot water can the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric, 240V deliver?

The listing states a maximum flow of 5.55 GPM and a heating power of 24 kW on 240 V. The headline flow is a mild-weather number: with cold winter water coming in, the same unit gives you less. Read the maker's flow chart at your winter rise, or let our flow-rate calculator do the sums.

What electrical service does the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric, 240V need?

The listing states 240 V and 24 kW. At 240 V, that is roughly 100 A. A licensed electrician checks the panel, the breakers and the wiring before it goes on the wall.

What do you get with the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric (240V)?

Its listing states up to 5.55 GPM, 24 kW of heating power and Wi-Fi control from your phone. 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.

What should I check before ordering the Westinghouse 24 kW Electric (240V)?

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.
