Customers say's :
Great tankless water heater
My oil fired 50 gallon hot water heater finally gave out. I wanted to go tankless and to switch over to propane. Natural gas is not available in my area and for a whole house electric would not be very efficient. I was actually looking to go with the rc80i as my well pump does not pump more than 8 gpm, but oddly enough this unit was less expensive on Amazon. I purchased this along with the 21" exhaust vent pipe. A couple of things I want to make clear to help others is that the water and gas valves DO come with the unit. You do not need to purchase these separately. The ultra efficient Rinnai units come with the valves saving around $80.00. The 21" vent can be cut and made shorter as well.

When ordering make sure you get the proper unit. They make units for Propane or Natural gas along with internal or external mounting options. Some of you southerners can mount these outside where it never freezes. Most will need the internal mount units.

I had a plumber friend...

Waste not, want not
We had a 15 yr old 75G water heater give out in a house we just bought 3 months ago. The home warranty agreed to cover the replacement cost of $1500, as quoted by our plumber. But rather than panicking and clambering for another tank, we sucked it up & began a water-boil with sponge bath regimen. While uncomfortable, this allowed us to think about what we really wanted to do. After a couple of days of research, we decided that whole-house tankless technology was up to snuff, and narrowed it down to Noritz and Rinnai. We researched plumbers & ended up using one that only does tankless installations of these 2 brands. The Rinnai 98I was recommended by the plumber for our 3300sqft home with 4 shower heads.

The old beast removed, and the 98i installed... we've been running on it for 1 week. The thing that makes me happiest of all is the hot water heater burner never cuts on, UNTIL WE NEED IT. We left it at the default temp of 120, and that's hot enough for us, but it...

Simply Amazing
We replaced a 7 year old 80 gallon (the most inefficient ever) electric tank. It freed up a 240 in the fuse box and dropped the electric bill $81 average the last two months. Uses very little propane and propane is cheaper for us anyway. A little longer to get hot water but nothing bothersome. 120 is plenty hot for us and installation is a breeze. You will need a condensing pump. I had the plumber put an additional outlet in for the unit and pump. Works flawlessly and looks to be easy to service. Wonderful investment. Love it.
