It seems that tankless water heaters are the latest and greatest innovation in home water heating industry. Instead of using a tank to hold and store pre heated water, tankless unit heat the water instantly, as soon as it’s turned on. The heating element is within the piping and as the water flows through it on its way to the faucet, it gets instantly heated. There are many advantages of this process including lower utility bills and no more waiting for hot water. The popular Rinnai water heaters have proven to be some of the best tankless water heaters currently on the market. Listed below are some of the main benefits of these Rinnai water heaters:
Number 1: Durability. It is estimated by industry experts that Rinnai units will last for up to twenty years. They have been rated the most durable in the tankless or inline industry. The warranty offered by the manufacturer is one of the best. The warranty covers the heat exchanger for 10 years, 5 years on other parts, and labor is covered in full for one year. Comparitively, this is a very strong warranty.
Number 2: Digital control. All of the Rinnai water heaters come with digital controls and the homeowner is able to set the temperature of the water at different outlets separately. This is great for safety. You can set the shower and sink in the master bathroom at a much higher temperature than the shower and sink in a child’s bathroom. This prevents potential burns or scalding.
Number 3: Indoor and Outdoor. Rinnai makes units specifically for indoor use and outdoor use. The units are designed differently and are equally as durable. Number 4: Friendly to the environment. Not only do their models produce very little pollution and use less energy than traditional units, they are also allowed to be dumped in local landfills when they stop working because of how they are built.
