Bill PayWhat it means to Go Tankless
When you go tankless you lose the holding tank that constantly heats water, even when you’re not using it. Tankless water heating systems are often referred to as “on demand”, meaning they heat incoming water only when you need it. A powerful heat exchanger is activated by the incoming flow of water and is heated to a preset temperature that you control. This compact unit, the size of a carry-on suitcase, can be mounted almost anywhere you choose, inside or out.
Never worry about running out of hot water again.

Advantages of a Tankless Water Heater
Continuous Hot Water
For back-to-back showers, a full (and hot) garden tub, multiple water fixture tasks throughout the house.
Cost Efficiency
Tankless units have a higher efficiency rating and lower your home’s energy consumption resulting in lower energy bills. Water is heated only when it is used eliminating the need to store and heat water 24 hours a day.
Less Maintenance & Worry
The lifespan of a tankless unit is twice that of a traditional tank unit and is backed by a hefty warranty, typically 12-years on the heat exchanger. Without a tank, there’s less worry over leaks or ruptures.
Recirculation
Newer models offer Rinnai Smart-Circ™ Intelligent Recirculation™ technology which “learns” your hot water usage over a seven-day period, then schedules pump and tankless recirculation accordingly. Enjoy hot water during regular demand periods, while saving energy and money.

How Tankless Works
A gas tankless water heater is an efficient appliance that uses a heat exchanger to heat water only when it’s needed, which can help you save on your energy bill.
- Hot water is turned on.
- Water enters the appliance.
- The water flow sensor detects the water flow.
- The computer signals the burner(s) to ignite.
- Water circulates through the heat exchanger.
- The heat exchanger heats the water to the designated temperature.
- When the tap is turned off, the unit shuts down.
Tankless Maintenance
Keep your tankless running efficiently with a check-up and flush. Ongoing maintenance helps keep your heat exchanger free from scale buildup which impacts the efficiency of the unit and it’s lifespan. ALL water heaters, tank or tankless can have scale buildup over time. The good news is a tankless flush will quickly clean the buildup and lengthen the life of your appliance.
Tankless Check-up and Flush $149
Schedule your service by calling (803) 323-5304.
If you have an external tankless unit, service can be performed without a technician entering your home. For those with internal tankless units, service may be scheduled for a future date with a secured discount on the rate.
Please note: A pre-installed drain kit is necessary to run the flush service. YCNGA installs a drain kit as part of our standard installation, but other installers may not. If your unit does not have a drain kit one can be installed and a flush run for $350.
Protect your Exterior Mounted tankless unit during a power outage
Freeze protection comes standard on all Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters. As long as there is both power and gas supply to the appliance, freeze protection guards against outside temperatures as cold as -22°F (‐30°C) for indoor models, or as cold as -4° F (-20° C) for outdoor models when protected from direct wind exposure. Because of the “wind-chill” effect, any wind or circulation of the air on the unit will reduce the effectiveness of freeze protection.
The freeze protection features will not prevent the external piping from freezing. It is recommended that hot and cold-water pipes are insulated. Pipe cover enclosures may be packed with insulation for added freeze protection. In the event of a power failure at temperatures below freezing, the water heater should be drained of all water to prevent freezing damage. In addition, drain the condensate trap and drain line. NOTE: Water can freeze inside the water heater and result in a ruptured heat exchanger and water lines. Warranty does not cover any damage due to freezing.
If the Rinnai unit or the external piping has frozen, do not operate the tankless water heater.
