Why Navien?

Why choose a Navien Condensing 98% Tankless Water Heater? In a word: Efficiency. You see, Navien utilizes "condensing technology," giving our Water Heaters a 98% efficiency rating. Knocking the competition out of the water, these extremely efficient and eco-friendly units will provide extra savings for you and your family.

Condensing Technology Defined

To help explain "condensing technology," imagine the condensation on a glass of ice water. This condensation is created inside Navien's condensing heat exchanger (secondary heat exchanger) from the incoming cold water cooling the hot gases inside the unit. Navien's state-of-the-art, stainless-steel condensing heat exchanger then traps this condensation and uses it, making the whole process incredibly efficient and economical. This condensation (or vapors and gases) would normally escape through the vents in a conventional tankless water heater. But with Navien's cutting-edge technology, our Water Heaters reuse the condensation, providing you with the most efficient and economical Water Heater on the market today.

Tank, Tankless, and Navien

Because Navien's stainless-steel condensing heat exchanger is able to recover the condensation that would otherwise be lost, the small amount of exhaust that is released from Navien Water Heaters is cool to the touch (about 85˚F-130˚F), allowing the use of PVC venting materials. The use of PVC offers significant cost savings and simplifies installation.

Unfortunately, old-fashioned tank heaters, as well as conventional tankless water heaters, emit harmful Nitrogen (NOx) and Carbon dioxide(CO2 ) directly into the air at a whopping 245˚F-450˚F! These harmful emissions damage both us and the environment in which we live

Navien Condensing 98% Tankless Water Heater's Benefits also Include:

An Endless Supply of Hot Water: Navien's Condensing 98% is an on-demand water heater; thus, the unit is activated the second you turn on the faucet, supplying you with instant hot water. Conventional tank-type water heaters eventually run out of water, but because Navien's units only supply water when needed, running out of hot water is never an issue.

Built-In Circulation Pump & Buffer Tank: These two parts save precious water by recirculating water that would otherwise be lost. Together, they also eliminate the minimum-flow requirement as well as the dreaded "cold-water sandwich."

Automatic Water Leak Detection: Special software detects leaks, preventing damage to the water heater—or worse, a home or business!

In-Take Air Filter: Navien's filter minimizes dirt and debris from collecting inside, reducing service calls.

Eco-Friendly: The Condensing 98% has the lowest levels of Nox and CO2 emissions, a savings equal to about 420 pounds of carbon-dioxide reduction.

Easy Installation: PVC venting is super economical, convenient and easy for professional installers to hook up
