WHAT IS A TANKLESS WATER HEATER?

Tankless water heaters are compact in size and provide a steady flow of hot water for as long as you need it. Rheem tankless gas water heaters are more energy efficient than conventional water heaters, because the tankless models eliminate the need for reheating stored water.

HOW CAN I DETERMINE WHICH WATER HEATER IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Choosing a water heater is based on your family size and how much hot water you will use in one continuous hour. We call it Peak Hour Demand.

CAN IT BE INSTALLED IN THE SAME PLACE MY OLD WATER HEATER WAS INSTALLED?

Plus, they can be installed in locations where a storage water heater may not fit. The Digital Temperature Controller can be mounted in any room.

HOW MUCH MORE DO THEY COST TO PURCHASE?

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SAVE ON MY MONTHLY BILL IF I INSTALL A TANKLESS WATER HEATER?

CAN I USE A RECIRCULATION LINE WITH RINNAI TANKLESS WATER HEATERS?

Yes, a recirculation pump can be a great addition to your Rinnai tankless water heater system when continuous, on-demand hot water is needed. Plus, the modulating technology and minimum fire rating of the Rinnai tankless rack system enables it to maintain consistent temperature in a return line with limited waste. In that case, it only uses the energy necessary to keep the line heated when in use.

WHAT IS THE BEST TEMPERATURE SETTING FOR A WATER HEATER?

For most people, a comfortable setting is about 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Manufacturers use this number as a pre-setting for many new water heaters. For older models, setting the thermostat to medium should do the trick.

WHY DO I KEEP RUNNING OUT OF HOT WATER?

If your hot water keeps running out much faster than it used to, your home is likely in need of water heater repairs. Your water heater could have a broken dip tube, which should prevent cold and warm water from mixing in your tank. Another possible problem could be that the lower heating element in your electric water heater has failed. While some of these issues can be fixed with repairs, it may be necessary to plan for a new water heater installation in the near future.
