One of the components of meeting the HERO energy efficient guidelines is using tankless water heaters.  A lot of builders will only install one tankless water heater, but 90% of the time Absolute Construction will install 2 water heaters to assure the water being servicing on both sides of the house.  The times only one is used is when it is a smaller house with the master and kitchen locating in near proximity to each other.

A tankless water heaters uses 30 to 50 percent less energy than units with tanks, resulting in an annual cost savings. Tankless units (also called “on demand” units) heat water only when you turn on the faucet. They usually operate on natural gas or propane. The main advantage is that they eliminate the extra cost of keeping 40 to 50 gallons of water hot in a storage tank, so you waste less energy. They also offer a continuous supply of hot water, which is ideal for filling a big hot tub or a whirlpool. They’re more compact than a standard water heater and mount on a wall.

Absolute installs Rinnai tankless water heaters. 

Rinnai tankless water heaters

Key benefits:

Designed for efficiency: Rinnai’s tankless technology features copper heat exchangers to provide maximum efficiency and uses up to 40 percent less energy than a traditional tank.

Save energy: By operating only when hot water is needed, and no storage tank to heat and reheat water, our tankless technology helps save on energy and utility costs. The use of an electronic ignition means no standing pilot light that constantly uses energy.

A smart investment: Increase your home’s value with premium technology, increased energy efficiency, an improved Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index Score and optimized LEED certification. Available energy efficiency rebates and tax credits offer the opportunity to help make your purchases more affordable.

Multiple sizes: Rinnai gives you options to right-size your installation and customize your efficiency.

Replace parts, not systems: Every part of a Rinnai Tankless Water Heater is replaceable. Components can be easily exchanged, if needed, versus replacing the entire system.
