Rinnai On-Demand Water Heaters

Tankless hot water heaters, also known as on-demand or Rinnai water heaters, have many advantages over traditional tank-style water heaters and can be an excellent long-term investment. Heating water in a storage tank can be absurdly wasteful…we fill up big 40- to 50-gallon storage tanks, then pour energy into them 24/7, to make sure we have hot water ready whenever we want it. But often it doesn’t work out that way. If a teenager takes a long shower, or a spouse settles in for a tub soak, there can be a long wait for that emptied tank to reheat. Then there are the nagging worries: Is it filled with energy-robbing sediment? Will it spring a leak? Both are reasonable concerns, as tanks generally fail in 8 to 12 years. Here are many reasons why a Rinnai tankless hot water heater might be a much better option to heat the water in your home.

Benefits of tankless hot water heater

Never Run Out of Hot Water. With a Rinnai tankless water heater, you’ll never have to choose between taking a piping hot shower, doing a load of laundry, or running the dishwasher. Hot water is always available.
Monthly Savings. Tankless water heaters are extremely energy efficient since they're not constantly reheating the water within the tank to keep it hot and ready for use. The energy lost in this process is called standby heat loss. For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, Rinnai tankless water heaters can be 24%–34% more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters. They can be 8%–14% more energy efficient for homes that use a lot of hot water -- around 86 gallons per day. You can achieve even greater energy savings of 27%–50% if you install a demand water heater at each hot water outlet.

Life Expectancy of Over 20 Years. On average, tank-style water heaters last between 8 and 12 years, however, high quality, Rinnai tankless water heaters are built to last for 20 years. Moreover, the individual components can be replaced instead of replacing an entire tank.
Lower Risk of Leaks, Water Damage and Safety Concerns. One of the biggest risks with tank-style heaters is, over time minerals from hard water build-up within the tank, which leads to corrosion and eventual leaks. A major leak that floods your entire basement could cause significant damage. Additionally, did you know that experts recommend you test the pressure relief valve for a tank-style water heater annually? Minerals and sediment from the water can clog up the valve and prevent it from functioning properly. Although it rarely happens, explosions are a risk with tank-style water heaters.
Lower Risk of Burns and Exposure to Toxic Metals. Many experts argue that tankless water heaters are safer than tank-style heaters. Besides the fact that they don’t have a tank that could explode, they also provide more precise control over the temperature so you’re less likely to be burned by hot water. Also, tank-style heaters break down over time and those minerals and particles eventually make their way into your water, exposing your family to harmful toxins. Since tankless water heaters don’t maintain a supply of water in a corroding tank, the water they distribute throughout your home is more pure.
They’re Easy to Winterize. Owners of vacation homes know how long it takes to drain a water-heater tank before closing up a house for the winter. With a compressor, you can drain a tankless heater in a few seconds; then you just unplug it.
