Hello,
Question is regarding a recently purchased property in Central Texas, which includes a 27KW tankless electric water heater. It is four years old and working fine.
What the prior owner installed is surely not code compliant, but the county does not require permitting for "renovations made within the original square footage of buildings".
The subpanel breakers next to the water heater are essentially nearby cutoff switches. The main panel is 80 feet away.
Aside from the code, is there anything electrically wrong with this setup that it would make good sense to (1) replace the wiring to subpanel or (2) remove the subpanel completely?
