If you are frantically searching for the best tankless water heater money can buy, calm down, because you have come to the right place. These three units (one gas, two electric) are some of the best-reviewed tankless water heaters a consumer can expect to find.
Rinnai RL75iN
Coming in at number one on our list is Rinnai’s RL75iN. This tankless water heater can use both natural gas and propane to operate. What’s impressive about this model is its production ability in spite of its small size. The RL75iN is smaller than most suitcases and can heat almost any home. Thanks to its small size, you have more free space in your home. With a few simple, easy-to-replace parts and digital controls, Rinnai’s products work to ensure that you won’t need to completely replace the unit in the event that something breaks or wears out. What might disinterest some consumers, however, is the price. A new RL75iN will cost $900 or several hundred more depending on where you buy it.
Rheem RTE 13
Coming in at number two is the Rheem RTE 13 electric tankless water heater. The dependable RTE 13 has been highly reviewed for both residential and commercial use. What makes this unit standout among the competitors is its low price. It can be purchased for just under $200 and offers the same features as most other comparable units, aside from its expected life span. The drawback with this tankless water heater is that users will not have the same long term reliability with this unit as they would with a more expensive option.
Ecosmart ECO 27
Finally, we have Ecosmart’s electric, tankless water heater, the ECO 27. This particular model is rated for use in climates that regularly land below freezing. You might have already guessed from the name, but this company likes to boast the energy efficiency of their products, and this one is no different with an activation flow of only .25 gallons per minute. These particular units offer greater temperature control than most other water heaters. This is accomplished through the inclusion of a digital display that is used to adjust the temperature to the specific degree. Many other water heaters come with analog dials to adjust power settings, which might initially cause you to set it, try it out, take a really cold shower, reset it, etc. The ECO 27, when purchased from Ecosmart, will cost you $569, not counting instillation.
