TANK LESS ON DEMAND WATER HEATER PAGE
This might sound strange but I'm not a big fan of tank less water heaters. In my opinion they are good for two things, first
they free up space due to their small footprint hanging on the wall inside or outside of the house. Second, they will
supply you with an endless supply of hot water. Most households don't have an issue with running out of hot water so
what's the point. The most common reason I get from customers for wanting to install one of these units is the energy
savings. It is true that a tank less unit will use less energy to operate than a tank but you have to look at one very import
element, COST!!! Since the cost of the units are so much higher and the labor and parts needed to install the unit
correctly is so much higher you will never see your money back over the life of the unit to pay for itself. So unless you
need an endless supply of hot water or you just want to be the cool kid on the block I would suggest putting in a standard
tank unit.
Since there are so many variables regarding installing these units I can't quote firm prices unless I look at the location of
the installation. If you are interested please contact me and set up an appointment. Estimates outside of SF will be $100

This is the unit that has me excited about installing tank less units for my customers. The is the Noritz NRC
111SV and the NCC111SV (non stainless) condensing tank less water heater. The unit captures the heat
from the main burner and uses that heat to preheat the incoming water. The final temperature of the
exhaust from this unit is so cool that I can vent this unit with schedule 40 PVC or ABS plastic pipe. Even
though this unit is more expensive the final cost of installing this unit is less because I don't need to vent
the unit with Stainless Steel venting. It is a powerful unit and will run up to 4 showers at the same time,
enough output to run a large home without any problems. On top of all that you will now have an endless
supply of hot water. Average installation cost before any rebates $3500 to $5000

Featured above is the Noritz NR98 outdoor model. Powerful unit that is designed to mount on the outside of
a house. The big advantage of this unit is the lack of venting required. All of the gases that the unit produces
are vented through the top of the unit. In all of the cases above the customer wanted to free up space inside
the house. Average installation cost before any rebates $2500 to $3500
