    FOGATTI Electric 14kW

    (245 reviews on Amazon)
    Flow Rate:3.3 GPM
    Energy Type:Electric
    Efficiency:98% (electric resistance)
    Installation Type:Indoor

    The Fogatti 14 kW electric is the point-of-use member of Fogatti's electric line: 240 volts, roughly 59 amps, and a single 60 A breaker on 6-gauge wire — simpler service than the 18 kW model. It heats water in about three seconds, holds ±1 °F across an 86–140 °F range, and fits a very compact 14.3 × 9.6 × 3.5 in box for under-sink or single-bath duty.

    Fogatti lists "up to 3.3 GPM," but 14 kW realistically delivers about 2.7 GPM at a 35 °F rise and well under 2 GPM in cold weather — enough for one fixture, or two in a warm climate. Its natural job is a single point of use, an addition, or a small warm-climate home where the lighter electrical requirement (one breaker, one wire run) makes it easier and cheaper to install than an 18 kW unit.

    Our Verdict

    A tidy, inexpensive point-of-use electric heater whose lighter single-breaker wiring is its main advantage over the 18 kW model. Right for one fixture or a small warm-climate home; underpowered as a cold-climate whole-house unit. As with the whole line, plan around real temperature-rise flow, not the advertised 3.3 GPM.

    What owners report

    Themes summarized from verified-purchase reviews across major retailers (4.1★ average, 245 ratings). These are aggregated owner opinions — not our own bench testing.

    Easy point-of-use upgrade

    Owners like the fast heat-up and small footprint for a single sink or bath, plus the single-breaker wiring versus larger units.

    Good value

    Reviewers cite a low price for capable point-of-use electric hot water.

    Right-size it

    Satisfaction tracks closely with matching it to one fixture; stretched to a whole house it disappoints, especially in the cold.

    Modest review base

    Fewer long-term reports than mainstream brands — keep proof of professional installation for the warranty.

    FOGATTI Electric 14kW FAQ

    How much can the 14 kW heat at once?+

    Best for one fixture. It delivers about 2.7 GPM at a 35 °F rise and less in cold weather — two small fixtures only with warm inlet water.

    What wiring does it need?+

    One 60 A breaker on 6-gauge wire at 240 V — lighter than the 18 kW model's two-breaker setup, which is a big reason to pick it for point-of-use.

    How is it different from the Fogatti 18 kW?+

    Less power (14 vs 18 kW) and lower flow, but simpler single-breaker wiring. Choose the 14 kW for one fixture, the 18 kW for a small whole home.
