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.
(update)
Rinnai Condensing Tankless
Rinnai has a condensing unit out in the market now. This tankless has an efficiency of around 95% and utilizes two heat exchangers to attain the high efficiency rating. Rinnai has maintained the single exhaust vent or concentric piping. This unit will get you the full $375 in available grant money from the Ontario Government.

Just want to thank everyone for submitting your information to our HUB. We have been inundated lately with requests for tankless water heaters and thus we are trying to call you all back to setup appointments as soon as possible. It can take upwards of 24 hours to hear back from us, but occasionally it can take less than 5 minutes from when you send the form request in.
Over the last few years we have installed thousands of tankless heaters and have received hundreds of compliments on these systems. It’s easy to accept this
praise when the system offers endless hot water at a fraction of the cost of a conventional water heater.
If you’re thinking of getting into a tankless water heater for your home now is one of the best times to take the plunge. Initially the cost is higher but the benefits far outweigh the small price gap between conventional and tankless. Government grants are at an all time high but are ending soon so get your $700 plus rebate before the program ends.

Heating Water with a Tankless in Ontario

Buying a Tankless in Ontario |
So you’re thinking of getting a tankless water heater and you live in Ontario, that’s good these systems are excellent for the environment and your bottom line. Most…. Actually all of these systems are designed outside our country and thus outside our climate. You should take some extra precautions before purchasing a system.
If you take a look at the map you can extrapolate a rough estimate of ground water temperatures for Ontario. Sorry there doesn’t seem to be an accurate map of Ontario’s ground water values anywhere. I would use 35-37 Fahrenheit as a good starting point; your incoming water will never be much colder than that. The tankless water heater you choose will need to warm the water up from your starting temperature to your desired level. If the incoming water is 35 and you want hot water to be 110 your tankless needs to heat the water 75 degrees. This is quite a relatively significant increase and to produce this level of rise requires the water to pass through the heat exchangers at a slower rate.
In the summer Ontario ground water is often between 50 and 65 Fahrenheit, to reach your desired 110 degree level the water only needs to be heated 45 degrees. Sensors in the tankless measure incoming and outgoing temperature levels and adjust flow rates accordingly. Thus a system rated to provide 5 GPM (gallons per minute) with only a 40 degree temperature rise will likely only produce maybe 2 GPM in the winter when water temperatures are really low.
When you’re purchasing a new tankless for your home make sure you pay close attention to the tankless heaters specifications. Make sure that it is able to provide an adequate flow rate when your incoming water temperatures are at the lowest in the winter.
Venting a Tankless

Tankless Venting
|
There is a plethora of information regarding tankless systems and which is right for you. This can be an intimidating experience for any consumer, today we are going to deal with venting and choosing the right method for your application. There really is no right or wrong choice it’s that some situations will require different methods and we aim to help you choose the option that best suits your needs.
Use the information below to the best of your ability, but if you have a unique situation send us a quick email or give us a call and we would be more than happy to help out.
Tankless systems require oxygen or air to complete and maintain the combustion process. It is essential for tankless water heaters to precisely monitor and control both the incoming and exhaust gases to achieve peak efficiency. As time goes by natural and environmental occurrences build up reducing a tankless heaters ability to efficiently heat water. Different venting systems have different traits let’s look at some of the different characteristics.
Non Direct Vent Indoor (fan assisted)
- Uses a powered fan to push exhaust gases out of the house
- Pulls the air or oxygen needed from the inside of the house
- Fan powered tankless systems allow for increased flexibility in venting (vertical or horizontal)
Direct Vent Indoor (fan assisted)
- Combustion oxygen is taken from outside the home, eliminating thermal drafting issues inside.
- The Tankless water heater is sealed and doesn’t consume any air form the inside of the house.
- Venting is done with two pipes or a single concentric pipe (a pipe inside another pipe).
- Can be used in locations where appliances may be competing for the same oxygen or in cold climates where air leakage reduces home energy efficiency.
- Vertical or horizontal venting
Outdoor
- This is restricted to warm weather climates only as subzero temperatures significantly reduce efficiency and there is a risk of the unit freezing
- Air for combustion is taken directly from the environment around the unit.
- Improves home energy efficiency as excess heat is thrown off outside and reduced A/C load.
