You see, Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters use natural gas or propane gas to heat
water only when needed. When water flow is detected, the Rinnai begins
heating water as it passes through its copper heat exchanger. The design of the
unit allows it to capture up to 84 percent of the heat energy, making it highly
efficient and cost effective.
When the demand for water ceases, the tankless unit shuts down and uses no
electricity – a revolutionary advantage over inefficient tank-style heaters. More
efficient when it's on, and off when it's off, the Rinnai Tankless Water Heater is the
ultimate choice in today's world of high energy costs and environmental preservation.
Additionally, your Rinnai is supported by the most extensive group of
professionals in the business. Our nationwide network of more than
20,000 trained and registered installers ensures a trouble-free installation
and reliable after-the-sale support.
Never Run Out of Hot Water
Tankless water heating is one of the few energy-saving technologies that
actually improves the quality of your life. You'll delight in continuous hot
water – for bathing, cooking, dishes, laundry, and all the other countless ways
hot water enriches your life. Plus, our digital controllers give you precise
control of the output water temperature for the ultimate in comfort and safety.
Save Space
Traditional tank water heaters can take up to 16 square feet of valuable
floor space. But your Rinnai unit – only about the size of a carry-on
suitcase – can be installed on virtually any wall inside or outside your
home or building, so you can strategically locate the unit for maximum
performance and energy efficiency.
