Rinnai Tankless

The Rinnai tankless water heater is one of the best brands of tankless systems out there. This is simply because the unit is reliable.

The specifications and features on any of the Rinnai tankless product lines are on par with all other major tankless brands, they consume similar amounts of gas, produce very similar hot water quantities, and have nearly the exact same efficiency ratings.  Day in and day out the Rinnai tankless just works, it never breaks down and that’s what makes it stand out. 

Rinnai Models

The Rinnai tankless units that are installable in Ontario are:

  • RC80HPi
  • RC98HPi
  • R50LSi
  • R75LSi
  • R98LSi (commercial)

The RC80 and RC98 are both condensing units and have a energy factor of 94%

The R50, R75, and R98 are conventional tankless systems with an energy factor of 82%

Tankless Grants for Rinnai

All Rinnai units available for Government grants – you can find out how much you are eligible for on our Grants Page.

Sizing a Rinnai

Why Rinnai is different:

As a consumer you simply cant purchase a Rinnai tankless and have your local plumber install it, the dealership has strict sales rules and policies in place to prevent this.  To become a Rinnai tankless dealer all of the installers have to go through special training to ensure that each and every tankless is installed within all specifications.  Yes, this is a significant factor to why Rinnai’s reliability factor is so high.

Its difficult if not impossible to size a tankless without first surveying the home that its being installed in, there is a rough guide that you can follow though.

  1. RC98 and RC80 – Tankless condensing units that can handle between 8 and 9.8 GPM suitable for nearly all homes (except for really large one 4000 sqf and up).
  2. R75 – Very universal tankless suitable for nearly all homes, produces 7.5 GPM (caution should be taken on installs for larger homes).
  3. R50 – Smaller tankless suitable for smaller homes and cottages. The unit produces 5.0 GPM.

Rinnai Costs

Again this is nearly impossible to predict as every home is unique as well as every install.  The unknowns are installation rates, venting pipe length, venting issues, mounting locations, gas piping, water piping, etc. But the unit is a fixed price and can cost anywhere from $1500 to over $4000 (that’s installation included as you cant just buy a unit).

Toronto Tankless

Tankless water heaters are very popular right now and more and more Torontonians are switching over to them as they are subject to large Government subsidies as well as offering significant energy savings.  Basically its a win win situation for any home owner looking to upgrade their water heating equipment.

Common miss-conception right now is that rebates are not available anymore for tankless water heaters in Toronto, this is not true and you can expect a significant savings if you decide to upgrade.  To access the grants there is a few steps that you the home owner must complete to be eligible, first is to get a Home Energy Audit which will get you access to $5000 in rebates, and not just for tankless water heater systems but furnaces, air conditioners, home insulation, etc. Then simply get your tankless installed and wait for your rebate in the mail.

Toronto has slightly hard water and so it is important that you have your tankless water heater flushed once every year or two to ensure that it maintains its efficiency.  A conventional tank cant be flushed and this buildup occurs and within a few years its relatively low efficiency is even lower.   Move up to a tankless water heater and get your share of Government grants and reduce your energy bills.
