Our plumbing and heating team at Save Home Heat Company, serving the Denver-Boulder and North Metro area for over 40 years, is pleased to announce the addition of Navien brand, gas-fired, whole-house tankless water heaters to our product line. Along with Rinnai, we now represent two of the most respected and established tankless water heater manufacturers in the industry. They are a great complement to each other and give our team the ability to even further fine tune our recommendations for the specific needs of our customers, and which are also the best fit for their homes.

In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the manufacturer Navien and their tankless water heaters that are currently trending with our customers.

As mentioned above, Navien is an excellent complement to Rinnai in our tankless water heater product line. Our installation and service teams at Save Home Heat appreciate that Navien tankless heaters are relatively straightforward to install and set up, and routine servicing is well designed and accessible without difficulty. In a number of cases, venting parameters for Navien tankless heaters are more flexible (longer max allowable length) than many other manufacturers. Depending on the installation, this bonus can be a critical factor.

Another reason for elevating Navien to a more active participant in our product line is due to customer requests for comparative quotes. Navien, like Rinnai, is a well known, respected, established manufacturer, globally as well as in the U.S. Having the ability to choose which brand and product our team prefers for a specific customer, whether because of pricing, venting, BTU sizing and performance, unit dimensions, or even customer preference – the list goes on – is certainly in the best interests of our customers.

These two units have the highest BTU rating (i.e. heating capacity) available in Navien’s residential condensing tankless heater line. This translates to the greatest hot water output – which is is especially important at our elevation in the Denver-Boulder/North Metro area, where the performance of virtually all gas-fired appliances is derated due to the reduced amount of oxygen in the air at our altitude, as compared to sea level.

Consider the impacts that hard water can have on your home’s appliances and plumbing system. If you have hard water, you’re likely to see white, powdery scale build-up in a wide variety of places around your home, on faucets, sinks, tubs, and showers, for just a few examples among many.

But just because it isn’t painfully obvious, that doesn’t mean hard water may not be preparing to affect your home, and maybe your wallet, too. Water heaters, for example, and tankless heaters in particular, are susceptible to slow, steady scale depositing that can eventually, negatively impact hot water output, efficiency, and even the life expectancy of your system.
