In addition to the operational energy savings, the condensing water heater is less expensive to install. The installation of the heaters exhaust venting carries a substantial part of the overall cost of the installation. The conventional tankless water heater venting, usually exceeds $30.00 to $45.00 per foot. Continue reading “Venting Costs”
A condensing water heater utilizes the burnt exhaust gases to preheat the cold incoming water. This process also cools the exhaust gas temperature. Exhaust temperatures in conventional heaters usually run 310F to 360F. Condensing water heater exhausts usually run between 95F to 130F. Continue reading “How Condensing Tankless Water Heaters Work”
Venting is extremely important to gas fired tankless water heaters. When products are not vented properly, bad things can and will happen. Continue reading “Non-condensing tankless water heaters”
Most tankless water heaters require a special vent piping material. This material is known as “Category III” and is typically stainless steel. Category III is required because the combustion efficiency of tankless heaters make it very probable that condensate will be formed within the venting system. Continue reading “Category III Piping”
Tankless water heaters have revolutionized the water heating business. They produce an endless supply of hot water cheaper, cleaner, and faster than ever before. These heaters have offered home and business owners a substantial energy savings, as well as, a smaller carbon foot print. As with most new technology, tankless water heaters continue to evolve.
