Navien New Tankless Technology

Austin's newest tankless water heater.

It is great to see the next generation of tankless heaters. We have come a long way. I had the opportunity to install a few of the early Bosch Aquastar (shudder), and saw the saw sad looks on the faces of the customers that bought in to the idea, and were barely able to get one shower out of one unit. Now, we put in one Rinnai 94lsi (9 GPM), and you can run everything in your house with very little noticeable change in pressure. The only fixture that seems to put a dent in overall good flow is the roman tub filler, but really, how often do you fill your big ol' tub?

We have had great success with the Eternal water heater. They make a pretty advanced piece of equipment. They have filled the void for the customers that have a recirculating system, but want the efficiency, and luxury of flash heating

Now we have the latest, and greatest the Navien Condensing Tankless Water Heater. These bad boys run 98% efficient! That is awesome. The other cool features include, stainless steel heat exchanger (requires little, or no maintenance), built in recirculating pump, Easier venting with standard PVC pipe.

Don't waste more time, or fuel gas. Make the move today, and start saving. This water heater qualifies for the 30% Federal Tax Rebate up to $1,500.00. Give us a call, and we will get one of our great plumbers out there so see which water heater will be right for you.

Ps. Dear Navien,

Your site is way too white. It is killing my eyes, and I can't see the white tankless water heater images, on a white background. Give us a break, and try a little color. Thanks!

Thanks for coming to our recent training class, and supporting Navien, the most efficient tankless available in the US market.

5. Fleetboat wrote:: Question about the recirculating system - what heats the water in the recirculating line? Does the main burner have to fire up or is the water in the buffer tank heated by an auxiliary electric heater of some sort?

6. Brad Casebier wrote:: This heater is slightly bigger than the others. Add 2-3" in every direction, and you are pretty close. Fleetboat, The heater uses the gas to maintain the temp. I think this is great in a full time house with lots of regular use. If it was a weekend house or a unit that I knew wasn't going to be off and on all the time I think I would go with a Non-recirc model. They run just like the Rinnai, but still with the high e-factor, and stainless steel heat exchanger.

I don't have natural gas or propane.
Do you have any thoughts on electric tankless?
Thanks,

9. Brad Casebier wrote:: We are not recommending whole house electric tankless at this time. The little point of use units are useful for a remote bathroom for washing your hands and such, but they lack the power to run a shower. The whole house types use huge amounts of electricity, and we haven’t been impressed with their longevity.

Also - is there a product brochure or website that can inform me about what to expect with this heater? Our installer did not leave us with any of the paperwork that can answer our questions.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

13. Brad C wrote:: One of the features of the Navien is recirculation. There are two settings on your heater. Internal, or external recirculation. The external is used when you have a hot water return pipe. This will get you hot water to your faucets quicker. Your plumber should know if this is an option for you. Internal recirculation is a function that keeps the water heater hot. With this function running your tankless will deliver hot water about the same sped as your tank water heater did. This internal recirculation is different than every other tankless. If you want to maximise your energy savings set the timer to only run morning noon, and evening. This will cause the heater to only cycle when you are using the hot water. It will still work, just take a little longer.
