conventional gas or electric tank water heaters.

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% of the heat energy, making it highly efficient and cost effective.

When the demand for water ceases, the tankless unit shuts downand uses no energy – 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 80,000 registered dealers and factory-trained installers ensures a trouble-free installation and reliable after-the-sale support.

Enjoy Endless Hot Water
