I am building a house and purchased a Rinnai 2532W LP outdoor tankless water heater. Can I install this model in my garage without venting it?
I am building a house and purchased a Rinnai 2532W LP outdoor tankless water heater. Can I install this model in my garage without venting it? What is the danger if I don’t vent it? I don’t live in the garage after all?
I also have a set of White Mountain Hearth ventless gas logs. I suppose those need to be vented as well?!

I’m seriously considering purchasing one of these soon and I see that both licensed plumbers and heating and cooling pros offer installation.

I wanted to know whom should I lean towards (even if it may cost more) and what type of questions should I ask in order to ensure I get a real pro?

When we turn the hot water on the pilot never lites up. NOW we have no hot water.
The pilot is used to turn on automatic every time u turned on the hot water and now it is not turning on at all.

1. How do you vent a tankless gas water heater. I dont want to go through my ceiling if I dont have to my house is 2 to 3 stories. I would rather run it out of my basement window or wall like a dryer vent.
2. If I bought an electric one how many volts or watts would my panel need to be able to handle?
3. Where is a good place to study the tankless water heater with pictures and so forth of its mechanics?

I envision a future where homes are built with whichever sustainable energy option is right for it’s particular area. We all know that going green with solar, wind, geothermal, sub-radient floors, tankless water heaters, solar water heaters, micro hydro, or whatever method is high dollar to ADD to a home. How about if the home came with a solar roof. You never had to pay for the conventional roof, or it’s removal/alteration? The same goes for all the other energy items I mentioned. Not all are right for every area, but builders could determine which were right for an area, and build homes with these things in them. Wouldn’t this drastically reduce the cost of any re-fit, or add-ons? Having subradient floors be the original floor installed would seriously reduce costs. Having a tankless water be installed vs. a conventional in the first place. Is anyone building homes which require little to no energy from electric & gas companies? Without seriously overinflating the cost?

My gas water heater is broken, and I was looking at new ones when I saw the energy efficient ones. Could I replace the gas one with an electric one? The web page mentioned that they can replace the regular electric ones, but nothing was mentioned in the way of a gas heater. Any information you could give would be helpful, thank you.

We have 2 bathrooms, a washing machine, a diswasher with 2 adult living in the house.

Here’s how to save money on a tankless water heater. Missouri Gas Energy customers can receive up to a 0 credit on their MGE bill by purchasing a qualifying energy efficient natural gas water heater.

The old, rusted tank heater that’s seen better days is mine. I never knew how bad it looked, until I lit it for videotaping. As always, thanks for watching. – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – Some additional verbage for those with a passion for the obvious. Now that natural gas prices and propane prices have shot up, the hot story for consumers is the tankless water heaters. If you are considering purchasing a new water heater, you should consider the tankless models. Sure most people wait for the old one to go-out before they drive down to Home Depot or Lowes to shop for a water heater, but you could begin saving money immediately with these new heaters. Conventional water heaters must heat water on standby before the water is even used. Tankless water heaters do not have a storage or standby tank, so the water is heated only when you turn the spigot. According to industry experts, you can save 10% to 20% on your gas bills by switching to tankless water heaters. You will also save on space …

I just moved into the house about 3 months ago and for my first month living here I bought a tankless water heater and replaced my regular gas heater because the tankless takes up less space. I have it mounted on the outside. I paid a plumber to install it. It is a rheem water heater. For the past 3 months my bills have ranged from 300-400 in just gas alone. I had the gas company come out and I dont have a leak and the meter isnt running constantly. It only runs when I use the gas in the house. I dont have a kitchen yet installed so I don’t use a stove. I havent turned on my ac/heat for the past 2 months so the only hting that could be using the gas is when I take a shower which is a 5 min shower daily. It’s just me in the house. So why is my bill so high?? I am so concerned b/c I paid for the water heater got it installed and now it is costing me a lot of money. I checked to see what the previous owner used to pay in gas bills and it was way less than what I am paying and she used the regular hot water tank (not tankless). I threw out the old tank which uses a lot less BTU’s than the tankless. I think the tankless uses 180k BTU’s and I had a 40 gallon tank. I don’t know what to do. And my plumber also checked for gas leaks and I don’t have any.

i have 3/4 inch piping about 40 feet from meter. also on gas are furnace and dryer. neither of which are used that often. Currently i have a 50 gallon tank water heater but want to go to tankless because it does not give me enough hot water for my japanese soaking tub.

I live in VA in a 40 year old 1300 sq ft house with an oil furnace for heat. My furnace is good, 3-4 years old, located in the garage. However the unit outside (used for the central A/C) is as old as the house. I want to replace that with a new larger energy-efficient model, and I would like input on whether I should redo the whole system or just replace the outside unit. I think a heat pump uses the outside unit to exchange heat, so if I went that way I would have to do it when I replaced the unit outside, right? I also don’t like paying a seperate oil bill (0 every month). Would having an entirely electric system have an effect on my electric bill summer vs. winter? I have an electric tankless water heater. Nothing in the house is gas, so I would have to get it piped in. The oil tank is on a stand in the back yard, right outside my bedroom window, which I’m not too fond of.

i live in WA state, and have a natural gas connection.

anyone know approximately how much the installation cost and if vent less is a good option to go with? Thank you

I’m thinking about having one installed in my home. I wanna find out as much as possible as soon as I can so I can take advantage of the tax credit.

And where can you buy it? Why is it the best and how do you know it is the best.

Omega 2000 group showcased its tankless gas water heater at the 2008 National Hardware Show, May 6 ~8, in Las Vegas. It is suitable as the whole house water heater replacement kit since no plumbing modifications needed.

Hello guys,
I do not have a lot of knowledge about water heaters, but for few reasons, I am inclined towards Tankless water heater. I have a small two unit house, and one unit is rented out. I am in the process of installing a water heater for each unit (two in total). Should I go with conventional one, or tankless one? I researched on the internet, however; you know that the manufacturers would always recommend whatever they make.
Also, if tankless is better, would you prefer gas or electric?
Will appreciate your answer.
Thanks.

In CA. I have 3 showers, 5 sinks, and 3 toilets. I would like to hear from someone with experience to tell me what the difference is in their PG&E bill is.
I can do all the plumbing and gas piping myself

What is the typical cost of buying the equipment and installation of tankless ‘Gas’ water heater? For my house we need 2 of them.

My house is being constructed right now, so I asked my builder to put this instead of regular tank. They are charging 00 for each unit. I think this is too high and payback time will also be long. Am I right?

Also, any idea about cost of installing hot water circulation system to conserve water. Push of a button will bring the hot water within a minute to the faucet.

Thanks You!
Thanks Eric.

What will be the payback period if I’m replacing tank one with this Tankless Gas Hot water system? If I save a month, then it is more than 10yrs. Seems not worth it. What you guys think.

I am thinking about placing a new tankless water heater in my house to save some energy and take advantage of the tax credits. I can find good heaters for around a 00, but am wondering if this could possibly be a DIY install. I have some plumbing experience and follow instructions well, but am wondering if anyone has had any success with this type of project.

If there are any professional plumbers here I would also love your feedback. Considering I have natural gas I am assuming there is no way I could do it myself, but was crossing my fingers I could do it.

Also, if anyone has had one installed professionally, approx how much did it cost you and how long did it take? Thanks a million!

I am thinking of replacing my 10 year old water heater with a Tankless one so I can have continuous hot water. Has anyone had good luck with this?

We are trying to pick a water heater to replace our old one. Our hot water currently smells/tastes metallic, the heater we have is 12 yrs old, & the problem has been going on for almost a yr, so I’m thinking the prob. is more than just the anode rod at this point. Any thoughts on the contrary?

Our cold water also sometimes smells metallic. Most of the time it’s just when the hot water’s "warming up" & coming out cold at 1st, but I’m worried there may be rust or metal buildup in our pipes now. What to do? How to tell? We tested our h2o, it came back ok – maybe test was bad?

If we do need to replace it, got any input on tankless vs. regular electric? We have no access to gas. Have heard tankless can get buildup faster. I know w/tankless, w/out electricity we’d have no hot water, but that is ok. We like the space & electric conservation. I’ve been researching & think we could afford one, prices have dropped.

What brands – tankless or regular – would you recommend?

Thanks!
We’d also be taking out the old one and installing the new one ourselves, so any advice on that would also be appreciated!
We do have enough amps, that I do know. I think it’s 200, but whatever the case it is something my husband checked before we started shopping for one, in case we needed to rule the tankless out.
Luc, thank you so much, that is very sweet, and I may be emailing u!
As far as how it tastes … I should clarify – we aren’t drinking the hot water from the tap, but you can sort of ‘taste’ it in the steam from the shower, and, our dishes out of the dishwasher have a metallic taste to them, because of the residue or something I’m guessing. Also, our cold water also has a weird flavor. Like I said, we tested it, but got normal results. So that’s even more confusing.
