    I think you mis-understood my post. We recently installed 2 of these electric tankless heaters and each one required 2 2 pole breakers for a total of 8 circuits.

    You misunderstand electrical circuits.

    That is NOT eight circuits. It is FOUR circuits at 240v.

    NOT all tankless units require two circuits. Some only require one, some three.

    From previous answers it has been determined that to connect my tankless water
    Heater I need:

    Copper #6 AWG (2-Conductor with ground wire) for indoor use

    Wesbell lists "Romex® NM-B 6/2" at $1.55/foot on this site:
    http://wesbellwireandcable.com/Romex/Romexnmb6-2.html

    I'll need 90' of this wire, so I'd appreciate it if someone could CONFIRM that
    I'll be ordering the correct stuff...

    Thanks!

    Yeah, but their prices are a joke.

    Why not just go to a Home Depot or Lowe's if there is no electrical supply house nearby??
    A supply house will be cheaper than any of them on this wire.

    What do you think of their price? Home Depot wants $2.10/foot to their $1.55/foot.
