Rinnai Tankless Water Heater

Rinnai tankless water heaters run a wide range of flows and BTU's. They range from 120,000 BTUs on the low end (5 gallons per minute) to 237,000 BTUs (9.8 gallons per minute) on the high side.

All Rinnai tankless water heaters burn natural gas or propane and are meant to be installed in either a residential or commercial application. Depending on your particular needs, Rinnai should have a water heater that can provide comfortably hot water and save you money over its life.

Typically, a Rinnai tankless water heater will last you about 20 years more or less. The quality of the water and how well its maintained will affect its use.

When sizing for a new Rinnai tankless heater you need to be aware of the difference in temperature between the ground water and your desired hot water. Also, you need to take into consideration how much hot water will be needed at peak times. So, in the dead of winter if you have 2 showers running, the dishwasher running and someone is doing laundry, you will need a much bigger hot water heater than if you rarely have more than one hot water appliance in use at a single time.

The rinnai tankless water heaters can be installed in cold climates as well. Anything up to minus 30 is ok but you will definitely need to take extra precautions for possible power outages in any cold climate.

It is recommended that you seek professional help (like a dealer or plumber) to help you select the proper size unit for your needs and to make sure the installation is done properly.

By switching to a Rinnai tankless water heater you can enjoy continuous hot water and can save money (both in operating costs and some models are eligible for up to $1,500 in tax credits).
