Tankless Systems Save

Tankless systems are very effective at saving you money. This only makes sense as they only provide hot water on demand. They don’t heat water and then hold it, continually maintaining that temperature.
You wouldn’t leave your car running all night so that it was warm in the morning would you? Well that’s what your hot water tank does day in and day out.

Our tankless water rental tanks have been unaffected by the drop of the government grants. If your living in the greater Toronto area, and place like Brampton, Mississauga, North York, Hamilton, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, and Markham. You are very likely renting your conventional tank and paying upwards of $20-$30 a month for a system worth $700 at most. Upgrading to a tankless and we take care of returning your old tank, and installing a tankless. All for roughly $10 more a month and you have a system valued at nearly $4000 providing your hot water.

Tankless systems are more reliable
Tankless water heaters are more energy efficient
They provide endless hot water
You get unlimited tech support
Unlimited emergency service and repairs

These systems are proven energy and money savers, sure they cost a little bit more a month to rent but you easily make that up in the natural gas or electricity reduction savings.

Rinnai Condensing

Rinnai’s condensing water heating technology offers all of the lifestyle benefits of traditional tankless water heaters which includes continuous hot water and the ability to run multiple hot water appliances at the same time coupled with even greater energy savings. Rinnai’s unique condensing design incorporates two innovative heat exchangers to achieve optimum water heating value from every cubic foot of natural gas or propane, and the units are ENERGY STAR qualified. The condensing process delivers up to 95 percent thermal efficiency, which translates to significant energy savings when compared to traditional gas tank water heaters. Available in four models, the condensing tankless water heaters are designed to meet the needs of mid to large sized homes and can be banked for even greater capacity. Like all Rinnai tankless water heaters, the condensing tankless water heaters contain commercial grade heat exchangers, making them an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications.

In addition to the units’ lifestyle and energy saving benefits, the Rinnai condensing tankless water heaters utilize a unique concentric venting system that is specifically designed for gas appliance venting. This results in an overall safer and easier to install product. The concentric venting design is a safer option for consumers due to the use of a polypropylene inner pipe, which is designed to withstand varying flue temperature conditions that may be experienced over the life of a product. Also, since Rinnai’s concentric venting system uses just one pipe that is fit and locked into place without glues or solvents with expandable gasket seals at pipe joints, the risk of gaps is virtually eliminated, further contributing to the safety of the system; plus, installers appreciate the simplified, quicker installation afforded by the single pipe.

Navien The Most Efficient

Navien America, a subsidiary of the South Korean company Kyung Dyong Navien, is now manufacturing the most efficient tankless water heaters in the industry. These Energy Star-rated water heaters achieve energy factors (EFs) as high as 0.98 by using conventional and condensing heat exchangers to capture heat from flue gases as well as latent heat generated when water vapor in these gases condenses into liquid. Adding to the units’ efficiency are dual microprocessors that use data from air and gas pressure sensors to ensure a proper fuel-to-oxygen ratio for optimum combustion, even when there are long vent runs or fluctuating gas pressure.

Get Some Government Grant Money

Tankless Government Grants

Currently the Ontario and Canadian government are giving rebates to households in Ontario that upgrade their conventional water heaters to either a state or a tankless water heater (I realize that state tanks have not really been explained so I will make a point to do a synopsis on them this week). The provincial (Ontario) will give 250$ for any tankless water heater that is installed, the federal government will match that offer which totals the rebate to 500$. This is a good chunk off the purchase and installation of a tankless water heater. State tanks are eligible for 300$ from the federal government and another 300$ from the Ontario government totaling 600$.

Additionally if you live in the Enbridge territory they are offering 300$ off your gas bill for any new tankless water heater installation in your home. Enbridge’s territory consist of most of southern Ontario. Their service territory includes these cities referenced below and a number of others but it would be too long to list:

Barrie
Bolton
Brampton
Caledon
Metro Toronto
Mississauga
Newmarket
Richmond Hill
Whitby

Ontario has a unique market where a significant portion of hot water tanks are rented. As the market for tankless hot water tanks begins to penetrate households there has become a strong demand for rental units for these systems as well. If you decide that renting is a better idea than outright purchasing you are still entitled to the rebates that are offered from both the government and from Enbridge.

There is a small catch though; to prove that you have upgraded you water heating system the Ontario government requires that a homeowner get an energy audit. This is a thorough evaluation of your home and its overall efficiency. Once the first audit is completed, you, the homeowner are sent the results of your audit (SAMPLE REPORT). Now that this is completed you have 18 months to make any renovations, or get your tankless hot water tank installed. After the renovations have been completed you need to get a second audit which will validate that all upgrades have been completed and grant cheques will be sent. Looking for an audit? we can put you in touch with a certified eco energy evaluation company. FIND OUT MORE

This is a bit of a complicated process but if you are looking to upgrade even a few things there are rebates from the Ontario government for almost anything that will make your home more energy efficient.

Renting a Tankless Water Heater

admin — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:47:47 +0000

Renting a Tankless Water Heater

For a lot of people in Ontario renting your water heater is something you have always done, the charge is roughly between 10$ and 20$ a month. Companies that provide this service (for the most part) put in low end tanks so that their return on investment is only a few years. The problem is that low end tanks are energy hogs and consume copious amount of power. The company you rent it off of doesn’t care about efficiency as they are not paying the bills, thus the problem.

Renting a Tankless Water heater is going to be more expensive on a monthly basis but the savings it produces more than outweigh the additional cost. Remember a Tankless water heater is the top of the line water heating system, if it’s a Navien (or Navian which is often spelled incorrectly) you will be getting 98% efficiency. A Rinnai will produce great savings with lots of hot water and very reliable service. These units are the best there is for residential hot water demands.

The rental fees are almost identical from all companies that are offering rental tankless systems in Ontario and the greater Toronto area. On average you will be looking at between 32$ and 40$ per month for the rental water heater. You will also be getting the peace of mind that if anything goes wrong the unit will be replace or fixed.

Tankless Purchasing Guide

Guide For Tankless Purchase

Did you know that in your home you are probably paying $60.00 or more per month to simply maintain the heat in a conventional tank type heater? How is this possible? Its simple, your regular tank loses its heat up the flue, or out the chimney, then when the water cools it reheats, and send more money and heat out the chimney. This is occurring even while you’re sleeping or at work.

You likely use most of your hot water in the evenings and morning, do you ever run out? Tankless water heaters are able to overcome these problems. A tankless never runs out of water and can have efficiencies in the high 90’s, you will never run out of hot water in your shower with a tankless.

All of the Earths resources are finite and thus as supplies become scarcer prices will continue to increase, minimizing your consumption reduces your bills. A tankless uses energy only when you ask it to provide hot water, a conventional take keeps water hot even when you’re not there, costing you money. Tankless water heaters will save you more money over their lifespan (20 plus years) than it will cost for the new unit. Plus a Tankless water heater takes up limited amounts of space, is easy to clean, and is easily operated.

Tankless Brand and Venting. With all the different brands available to consumers there is a plethora of venting options to vent the various units. Some tankless water heaters can be vented horizontally and others can vent vertically. The majority of tankless water heaters also have computerized safety devices to protect consumers. Most conventional tanks don’t have these advanced safety features.

Applications and Uses. Some applications of tankless water heaters are: boats, mobile homes, RV’s, and radiant heating systems.

Return on investment. The payback period for tankless water heater is between 3 to 7 years, this is dependent on both energy cost and personal use. If you are a high hot water consumer it will speed up the payback process, if you normally use very little hot water then the payback takes a little longer. Remember though, tankless hot water heaters experience zero standby heat loss and this are much more efficient than conventional tanks.

Energy Audits. Currently the Ontario Government has an incentive program that promotes home energy efficiency. It starts with a home energy audit that assesses the current efficiency of your home, after it is completed a report outlining the current state is sent to the home owner. There is an 18 month period for any renovations to take place; once they are completed a follow up audit is preformed to confirm that all retrofits have been accomplished. At this point grants and incentives are sent from the government to the retrofitted home owner to offset some of the costs.Just installing a tankless water heater qualifies you for $500. Check out the Audit page HERE.

Tankless Lifespan. The expected life of a tankless water heater is roughly 20 years. We have customers who still have their tankless water heaters and it has been in service for more than 20 years. A major reason for this is that tankless water heaters are serviceable, unlike conventional (disposable) tank type water heaters.

It is important that you size and install them correctly for this type of performance.
