My contractor is recommending 2 brands of tankless water heaters that are the same price. Which one should I get?

Rinnai RL94E . (9.4 GPM)

Takagi TTD2OSNG (10 GPM)

You know what they say: If it’s not Rinnai you paid too high.

Are you sure you can't just go with a tank system? Aside from being half the cost to install, you don't really have any maintenance to do on them.

I just built a new house and put 2 Rinnai tankless heaters in it. I love them. I know you need to flush the system once a year to clear all particulates that have built up in the system. The only major difference between the tankless system and regular (in everyday use) that I have seen, is the time it takes to get hot water to the faucet. It takes a little bit longer than a regular system, about 30 seconds longer.

I usually go with the plumber's recommendation b/c they are installing and would be repairing it. I've had noritz in my last couple of houses (on the plumber's rec) and had no issues.

Wife installed a Rinnai at what's now our "country house" when she first moved in around 2007. It's still rock solid 11 years later.

gas right?

If electric, don't waste the money.

I like Noritz.
