1. The installation is easy if you are replacing an existing unit, I replaced dual tank water heaters and relocated the tankless heater closer to the majority of the water users in the house so the installation was more time consuming and difficult. The instruction manual is awesome, take the time and read thru it (prior to buying) and follow it strictly. I bought a gas fired unit, had the gas company come out and validate the inlet pressure and ran all the calculations recommended. Installation took 4 days since I had to run additional gas piping, extend hot and cold water lines and install the vent piping to the exterior.
2. After you've read the manual, plan your installation carefully (vent, water in, water out, gas piping in, power). These all converge around the unit which isn't large and will take planning to make it fit and functional. Purchase all the vent pipe ($$$), water piping, gas piping, and valves for the unit (the bundle of all of these are not inexpensive)
3. The unit fired up after the second try (it had to vent the air out of the gas line on the first attempt). The start up was very easy.
4. My wife likes HOT water, the unit is delivered with a maximum of 120 degree output. I queried the internet and found the program button sequence to get it to 140 degrees. It worked instantly, but after an hour the unit reset back to 120 degrees and the process wouldn't let me place it back to 140 degrees. I called the service desk and gave my number for a call back. 30 minutes later, the call came in. The service tech asked a few questions so she knew which unit I had purchased and then I communicated to her what I had experienced. She told me that the code I had used was for a different unit and she directed me step by step how to program the unit. (I had the panel open and performed as she told me each step). It took 30 seconds and the unit has worked correctly ever since.
5. The closer the unit is to the usage point the faster the water heats up, so don't have expectations that you'll get instantaneous hot water when there is 20+ feet of cold water in the pipe that has to be pushed out by the hot water, but it does heat the water extremely fast and it's on the way as soon as you open the hot water faucet!
Pros:
INCREDIBLY easy installation. Just make sure you buy a diverter valve kit; I bought a new kit rather than reuse the old valves, but not really necessary. However, you should NOT reuse the yellow metal gas hose, as it has metal-to-metal seals which shouldn’t be reused..
VERY good quality. Lots of Japanese brands are now made in China, but these are still Japanese-made.
GOOD quantity of hot water. Multiple users (e.g. shower, washing machine, dishwashing) is a cinch.
PRICE is pretty reasonable; tankless heaters seem to last about 10 years with zero maintenance, much longer if you follow the back-flush recommendations to the letter
The ONLY Con:
If you use the included controller (interior mount only) you can get temperature control in 5 degree increments from the default 120 deg F to 140 deg F.
If you DON’T use the controller , you can set a dip-switch for EITHER 120 -or- 140 degrees F, nothing in between.
We are not set-up to use an interior controller (which would require major surgery) so we can either buy a weatherproof exterior box for the controller, or use the dip switches.
You can not set the temp with the controller, then remove it, as without the controller installed the water temp reverts to the dip-switch settings.
We’ve left the water temp at 120 deg F, which is a lot safer for the tiny grandkids, and we’ve squirreled-away the controller to use for diagnostics if later required. Not a deal-breaker, but sure would be nice to set temp with dip switches, then have a PLUG on the side of the unit for controller to use for diagnostics without removing the front cover...
Time will tell if the Rinnai is durable, but the ease of installation was super important under the current circumstances; after this Big Freeze, plumbers are changing $100 just to GET ON THEIR LIST. Meanwhile, we took our first hot showers ina week only a couple of hours after the package appeared on the doorstep.
