Small Cabin, Big Upgrade — Hot Water at Last!

We finally gave this rural cabin HOT WATER — after years without!
In this video, Lyman and his dad team up to install the Thermomate ET045 120-volt tankless on-demand electric water heater to bring hot water to a small off-grid cabin. This compact 4.5 kW water heater powers both the kitchen sink and a low-flow shower (.5 GPM) — proving that even small cabins can enjoy reliable hot water on a budget.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a 120V on-demand water heater can actually run a shower, this full installation, test, and review will show you exactly how it performs. We’ll cover the complete setup: mounting the unit, connecting PEX water lines, wiring to a 30-amp breaker, leak testing, and real-world water-temperature results.

✅ Heater model: Thermomate ET045 (4.5 kW / 120 V)
✅ Use case: Cabin, tiny home, RV, single sink or low-flow shower
✅ Result: 110°F hot water at .6 GPM — consistent and efficient
✅ Skill level: Beginner-friendly DIY project

This heater was provided by Thermomate in exchange for an honest dedicated installation and review video. After using their smaller under-sink heater in our own home’s kitchen, we trusted this brand again for a larger off-grid test — and it didn’t disappoint.
