Tankless Warranty Facts
Oct 4th
Tankless systems all seem to have different warranties and information regarding their heat exchangers, parts, and labour on installation. Here is a small break down of what you as a home owner can expect. 
Bosch – 12 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 2 years on Parts.
Navian – 15 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 5 years on Parts
Noritz - 10 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 5 years on Prats.
Rinnai – 12 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 5 on Parts, but also comes with 1 year on labour.
Takagi - 10 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger, 5 years on Parts, and 1 year on labour.
It pays to do your research as you can see there is a bit of a difference between the different brands and the warranties that they offer. These tankless systems are designed to last for a number of years, many years longer than your conventional tank water heater.
Also know that the company you hire to do the installation more often than not (if they are reputable) will add additional warranty on to your unit. Make sure to get a few quotes and make the warranty a priority when negotiating the price.

If you’re searching for an endless supply of hot water for your home or business, Rinnai tankless water heaters offer you hot water on demand,
so you are not stuck with a fixed and pre-heated supply. You can enjoy hot water when you want it and for as long as you want it, so go ahead and do the dishes, run the washing machine and take a long and luxurious bath at the same time. No more worrying about running out of hot water with a Rinnai tankless water heater.
As a Rinnai tankless owner you will enjoy up to 40% energy savings. These units are highly efficient and only heat the water when it is needed. When the demand ceases, the unit shuts down and uses zero energy-a revolutionary advantage over the big and bulky inefficient conventional tanks heaters.
Purchasing a Rinnai tankless water heater, gets you will a reliable and durable copper heat exchanger with a typical life span of 20 or more years (that is twice as long as the old tank water heater’s life span). In addition, the traditional tank water heat accumulates a buildup of rust and sediments that collect in the tank-where the water you drink and bathe is stored. With the Rinnai tankless heaters, no water is stored, so you only get fresh and clean hot water because the water is heated as it passes through the unit.
Being about the size of a small suitcase, the Rinnai tankless unit can be installed on virtually any wall on the inside or outside of your home. Rinnai offers you a line of controllers that makes it very easy to set the hot water temperatures for multiple locations in your house.

Tankless Installation Time
Dec 14th
How Long Will A Tankless Take to Install?
This can be a difficult question to answer as there are a number of factors that need to be taken into account. They range from
- Relocation – Does it make sense to move the tankless closer to hot water demands? does this involve moving the gas lines? Is there a venting issue that requires it moved?
- Size / Mounting - The Tankless is significant smaller then a full sized convential tank, this allows it to be mounted numerous locations.
- Venting – All tankless systems have unique venting requirements this may play a factor in its positioning, get a free evaluation here.
- Type – Do you want a propane, natural gas or electric tankless system? These factors can all play a part in tankless installation times.
The installation crews are scheduled to do 2 tankless installs per day, so most installs rarely go past 4 hours (quite a few have been installed in less than an hour). If you decide to go ahead with the tankless system, be that rental or purchase its a safe bet to allocate 4 hours for the install.
