Created for the residential construction industry, including builders, remodelers, architects, and HVAC professionals, our training videos examine how propane applications increase home comfort and energy efficiency, as well as reduce carbon emissions. Each episode describes the best way to safely and easily install propane systems and to measure their beneficial effect upon the home's energy performance and emissions profile.
All I can say is WOW! What he states cannot be further than the truth! If everything he stated is true that you place the unit in the largest room and it will heat the main level and second floor, then why do 100% of all houses built place registers and return vents in every room? Why not just heat the biggest room and call it a day! 🤣🤣
I have a 90% furnace that uses pvc venting. If I have the pvc vented tankless water heater also can I connect the exhaust together so I still only have 1 wall penetration for exhaust out? Thanks.
LPG produces 33% less CO2 emissions than petrol and 45% less CO2 than diesel. LPG vehicles produce up to 82% less Nitrogen Oxide pollutants than petrol and 99% less than diesel, 63% less Carbon Monoxide. 40% less Hydrocarbons than petrol and 70% less than diesel. 50% less particulates than petrol and 98% less than diesel
Good info, but my plumber installed it outside under the eaves, BUT ONLY ABOUT 12 inche top outside vent, but the city inspector tagged it because the manufacturer tag states in needs 36"top clearance!!
I am installing in my basement, large and open. So I take it I do not need to bring air in from outside? Correct? The instruction included with this tankless unit does not provide this option.
Fact is: with the same ventilation you will get better air quality with induction. Before switching from gas I had to have my hood going full tilt to satisfy my indoor air quality monitor (which was LOUD). Now I get better readings with the lowest setting. I love being able to talk when cooking. And dont get me started on what the gas leaks from gas infrastructure is doing to the climate.
So which way does the little check valve go on ? Is it on the cold return and direction towards the cold water line going in to the hot water tank or tankless?
I only subscribed because this guy gave the best and most informative breakdown on these vent systems. I might buy a couple extra vents just for back up. Thanks.
Next demonstration: Use a clear fake wall with a removable opaque panel . That way Rinai can demonstrate there's a wall, but turn the panel around so the audience can see thru the wall what's being done to the back of the unit for exhaust hook up ... a pretty important step they should all see.
This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ru-vid.comUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
Rinnai hot water boilers can only produce hot water from 120 F (default) to 140 F (max.). This cannot let the air handler generate proper heating. We need at least around 160 F hot water. But Rinnai boilers are not designed for that, unless Rinnain I series combi boilers, like Rinnai-i120. Your idea seems feasible theoretically only, but not practically.
But my concern is that Rinnai Hot Water boilers have max. temp at 140F ( default is 120 F) and if this can let the air handler blow out enough heating for a harsh winter. 140 F is low and not enough for me. Unless using Rinnai Combi boiler which has 180 F on the heating side, a regular Rinnai boiler cannot get enough heating to the house, though technically it may as this presenter describes here.
