Rannai Tankless Water Heaters

July 5, 2010 Leave a comment

Most of you have a traditional water heaters that heat water even if you are not home. This is called a direct fired or indirect fired water heater. A Rannai Tankless Water Heater will do the same job as what you currently have but will do it more efficiently. A tankless hot water heater does not store hot water and will only heat the water as you use it. The savings can be upwards of 60% compared to the very inefficient traditional water heaters.

Keep in mind that the Rannai Tankless Water Heaters are wall hung, produce on-demand hot water, and are energy star rated.

You have to first calculate what your required hot water output is. Picking the right size unit is critical. If you choose a unit that is too small you run the risk of taking luke warm showers everyday. Picking a unit that is too large is just a wast of money and energy as you will not use the the unit to its capacity.

Viessmann – Upgrade and save, now and 20% every month!

Viessmann wall hung high efficiency gas boilers are becoming very popular due to their reasonable cost and cost savings month in and month out.  High efficiency means that it is 92% to 95% efficient, so for every dollar in energy you put in you get at least 92 cents back.  Compare this to a traditional gas boiler that gives you an average efficiency of 65% to 75%.  An average savings of about 20%, very noticeable on your gas bill.  This is all possible because Viessmann high efficiency modulating gas boilers are both modulating and condensing all in one.

  • Modulating simply means that the boiler will only produce the amount of actual BTU’s that are required compared to the traditional boilers that fire up to full capacity every time heat is required wasting your money.
  • Condensing means that the heat is kept in the unit longer thus working longer and cooling substantially before being exhausted outside.  This lowers the flu gas temperatures by about 100 degrees.

Viessmann is currently in stock and on sale.  Do not hesitate to call with any question!

Shopping for Central Split Systems, Unit Heaters and Indirect Water Heaters

September 12, 2009 Leave a comment

When you are in the market for a high quality unit heater at a reasonable price it is important to compare features to make sure the unit heater that you pick is truly the one you need.  Always make sure you calculate the BTU required for your space with the exact measurement and specification so that you do not buy a unit that is too small or one the is too large.  A unit that is too large will cost more and one that is too small will cost less but work much harder and cost you a lot more in the long run.  Reznor makes both a UDAS and UDAP where the biggest difference is the fact the the UDAS models have  separated combustion.  One more thing I would like to draw your attention to is the Goodman Central Air Split Systems.  You have to make three choices when buying one of these systems.  The first being the size of you outdoor condensing unit for your cooling function, next you pick the appropriate furnace for your heating function, and lastly the evaporator coil that must match the BTU output of your condensing unit and the size of your furnace for a seamless uniform look.  Anyone of our Customer Care members will be able to help you match the appropriate units to make your shopping experience a pure joy.

Tank or Tankless – Choosing Water Heaters

August 14, 2009 Leave a comment

Tank or Tankless ?

Rinnai Tankless Water Heater

Rinnai Tankless Water Heater

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, water heaters consume 14% to 25% of a home’s annual energy use. With multiple shower heads, and dual dishwashers on the fast track to becoming standard features in today’s homes, those percentages are likely to rise.

Choosing the best water heater for your home has become more challenging in recent years as new designs have swept the industry and rising energy costs have raised consumers’ eyebrows. Despite the advanced design of today’s water heaters, most people find themselves facing the same decision: tank or tankless ? Unfortunately for most consumers, that choice is not easy. Efficiencies and costs vary, and the cheapest water heater might be the one that puts the biggest drain on your bank account over time.

How do Tank and Tankless Water Heaters Work ?


Tankless:

Rinnai Tankless Water Heater

Rinnai Tankless Water Heater

The idea behind a tankless system is that it heats the water as you need it instead of continually heating water stored in a tank. Tankless heaters have been the norm in much of Europe and Japan for quite some time, but they haven’t gained popularity until recently in the United States — largely due to the green movement. If you’re a good candidate for a tankless system, you can save a substantial amount of money every year on your monthly bills while at the same time conserving natural gas. Tankless heaters also last about five to 10 years longer than a tank heater, take up much less space and provide you with an unlimited amount of hot water. On the downside, a tankless system can cost up to three times as much as a tank heater and often requires costly upgrades to your natural gas line and an expensive venting system.

Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters avoid standby loss by heating incoming water only as you need it — they’re also referred to as “on demand” water heaters for this reason. The elimination of the standby heat loss is what makes a tankless system more efficient, but we’ll get to that in more detail a little later.

Pros:

  • Lower life-cycle costs
  • Endless hot water
  • Runs only when needed, offering the potential to saver energy
  • Accurate temperature control
  • Small and space saving

Cons:

  • Higher up-front costs
  • Complicated installation
  • Electricity required for most models to operate
  • Can suffer freeze damage if improperly installed
