Say Goodbye to the Tank: A Recent Tankless Transformation in Viera
Living in the Viera and Melbourne area, we all know that space and efficiency are high priorities—especially when you’re trying to keep a household running smoothly. We recently wrapped up a project for a local homeowner that perfectly illustrates how modernizing your home’s infrastructure can be a total game-changer.
The mission? Swapping out a bulky, aging traditional water heater for a sleek, high-powered Stiebel Eltron Tempra 29 Plus Tankless Water Heater.
The Logistics: More Than Just a Swap
When you move to a powerful tankless system like the Tempra 29+, you aren’t just changing a “plug-and-play” appliance. These units are powerhouse performers, but they require a serious electrical backbone to provide that “endless hot water” experience.
For this specific Viera installation, our team handled:
- The Removal: We safely disconnected and hauled away the old, inefficient tank heater.
- The Power Upgrade: The Tempra 29+ demands significant juice to heat water instantly. We installed three new 240v 40-amp circuits to ensure the unit has the dedicated power it needs to run at peak performance without tripping breakers.

Why Tankless is Trending in Melbourne
If you’re still sitting on the fence about whether to ditch your old tank, here is why so many of your neighbors in Brevard County are making the switch:
- Space Savings: Tankless units are about the size of a suitcase and mount to the wall. This homeowner regained a significant amount of floor space in their utility closet.
- Endless Hot Water: No more “first come, first served” showers. The Tempra 29+ heats water on demand, meaning the last person to shower gets the same temperature as the first.
- Energy Efficiency: Traditional tanks waste energy keeping 50+ gallons of water hot 24/7. Tankless systems only pull power when you turn on the tap.
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
A tankless water heater is a major electrical appliance. DIY-ing the electrical side of a Tempra 29+ isn’t just difficult; it’s dangerous if the wire gauge or breaker sizes aren’t exactly right for those three 40-amp circuits. At Cornelius Electrical Contractors, we ensure every connection is up to Florida code and built to last.
