Rheem RTGH-95DVLN-3 Tankless Water Heater vs Rheem IKONIC RTGH-S11i Tankless Water Heater
Both are Rheem condensing indoor tankless units with the same 199,900 BTU input, but the IKONIC RTGH-S11i is the newer, more capable design. It delivers more hot water at once (11.2 vs 9.5 GPM max), higher efficiency (0.96 vs 0.93 UEF), stainless steel primary and secondary heat exchangers, Wi-Fi via EcoNet, field LP conversion with the kit included, and a digital display with no dip-switches. The RTGH-95DVLN-3 is the smaller, lighter, contractor-friendly unit with 1/2-inch side clearance and Hot-Start programming, and it is a proven workhorse plumbers know well. Owners of both report reliable continuous hot water; the IKONIC is the better step up for larger households and anyone who wants app control.
- Choose the Rheem RTGH-95DVLN-3 if you have a tight mechanical closet, want the smaller and lighter unit for one-person installation, and 9.5 GPM covers your household.
- Choose the Rheem IKONIC RTGH-S11i if you want more simultaneous hot water, stainless steel heat exchangers, Wi-Fi control, and easy LP conversion.
