●
Will there be any
difference in usage?
No, in some cases you may get hot
water sooner to your shower head or faucet than before
because of the new location of the water heater being
closer to point of use. A smart-reticulating system
design can give you instant hot water at any faucet or
shower head. We’ll be glad to share more information
with you.

Where is the Tankless
Water Heater installed?
Location of installation is very
important for trouble-free operation. Adequate venting,
oxygen, plumbing and sufficient gas supply are all
important factors. Our experienced personnel will gladly
discuss all available options with you.
●
Are there any special
requirements for tankless water heater installation?
Yes, since water is heated
instantly there is more heating energy needed and that
requires a slightly larger size gas line to provide the
additional gas volume needed. This is updated as part of
the installation.
Tankless water heaters don’t have a
always burning pilot like tank type, they are pilotless
but need electricity for igniting the gas initially. The
electricity usage is very minimal. A new electrical
connection will be provided as part of installation.
As water is heated instantly there
is more heat produced that requires sometimes special
venting, this installation depended.
●
Can I install a tankless
water heater myself?
Expert installation is very
important to safety, trouble-free operation and
manufacturer’s warranty. As with any potentially
dangerous situation it is best to use licensed and
factory trained plumber, gas fitter and electrician
here. Besides of voiding manufacturer’s warranty use of
unqualified persons can be dangerous when handling gas,
water and electricity.
