Depend on top names – Rinnai, Bradford White, Energy Kinetics – and Ace-Robbins!
You will want to invest wisely when buying or maintaining your home’s water heater. Just think of how often you depend on hot water for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and even warmth if your home uses a boiler to generate indoor heat.
A standard “storage” water heater heats a tank-full of water and then rests. The insulated tank helps retain heat levels, and can reheat the water as necessary, but the stored water will cool somewhat at given times. When the tank runs low, new water will refill the tank and become heated. But during this refill time, water heat may fluctuate noticeably – such as when too many showers are taken in a row and the last person gets only cold water.
With a shower flow rate of about 2.5 gallons a minute or whirlpool or soaker tub with more than a 70-gallon capacity, the old technology 50-gallon tank can't do the job. You need a flow of 8.5 gallons of hot water per minute, and hot water temperature that is consistent and never ending.
Which describes the tankless water heater. This system will save you money on energy costs, because a tankless water heater doesn’t need to reheat the water. Hot water is always available, so your home won’t run out during periods of heavy use.
For a tankless water heater system, we recommend Rinnai.
An endless stream of hot water and up to a 40% savings in energy costs are just two reasons to select an energy-efficient Rinnai tankless water heater over a conventional electric water heater.
Also, consider the benefit of longevity, as well as the space-saving design. Traditional tank water heaters can take up to 16 square feet of valuable floor space. However, Rinnai tankless water heaters are about the size of a carry-on suitcase and can be installed on virtually any wall inside or outside of your home.

We’ve helped many customers save a lot of money on fuel by installing the System 2000 from Energy Kinetics. Brookhaven National Laboratory, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, has rated the System 2000 the most efficient oil boiler in the world! The System 2000 has the lowest overall standby heat loss (the heat lost up the chimney when a boiler turns off) and the best annual efficiency performance of all heating systems tested to date.
