FOGATTI Electric 14kW
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.
Owners like the fast heat-up and small footprint for a single sink or bath, plus the single-breaker wiring versus larger units.
Reviewers cite a low price for capable point-of-use electric hot water.
Satisfaction tracks closely with matching it to one fixture; stretched to a whole house it disappoints, especially in the cold.
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.
