The Stiebel Eltron Accelera 300 is a heat pump water heater that operates on either 240 or 208 volts. For every 1 watt used it produces the same amount of 35 watts of hot water. The 80 gallon tank design will give you 50 gallons of uninterrupted hot water before it needs to activate the builtin backup heating element. This allows for 5 people to each take a shower of 10 minutes. Depending upon what type of climate you live in will help determine where the optimal place to install the Accelera 300 in your home is. If you live in a warmer climate the optimal place to install this unit is either in your garage to allow it to draw warmth from the outside air or inside your home to help with the load of your air conditioner. If you live in a cooler climate it is best to place this unit in your basement where it can help by performing the duties of a dehumidifier. Allowing you to have a drier basement.

The beauty of heat pump water heating technology is that the amount of electrical energy needed to create hot water is greatly reduced compared to a conventional electric tank type water heater. The Accelera’s compressor and fan consume only 1kWh of electricity to generate the heat equivalent of 3 – 5kWh. The efficiency of the unit goes up with increasing ambient air temperatures. This ground breaking efficiency redefines what a water heater is capable of and a family of 5 can save up to $700 per year for heating their hot water.
