Our take on the Rinnai Super High Efficiency Tankless Water Heater 6.5-GPM 130000-BTU Natural

This is Rinnai's high-capacity condensing tankless unit: 130,000 BTU of natural gas input, up to 6.5 GPM, and a 0.85 Uniform Energy Factor that puts it among the most efficient gas heaters sold. It runs two showers at once in mild climates, or one shower plus a dishwasher and laundry, and its 98-140°F range and 3/4-inch connections suit most whole-home retrofits. Against non-condensing rivals it recovers efficiency that otherwise goes up the vent, but it needs a condensing-grade vent and a drain for condensate. Owners of Rinnai tankless units generally report steady hot water and long service life; the common complaints are installer-dependent venting cost and the wait for hot water at distant taps.

Questions and answers

How many bathrooms can this heater supply?
It is rated for a family of six and 6.5 GPM, enough for two showers at once in mild climates. In cold regions, expect one shower plus a couple of fixtures.
Does it need special venting?
Yes. As a condensing unit it needs a compatible vent system and a drain for condensate. A standard single-wall flue from an old tank unit will not do.
Will it work during a power outage?
No. It uses electric ignition and a powered fan, so it needs electricity to run. A tank heater with a standing pilot does not.
What maintenance does it require?
Flush the heat exchanger with vinegar once a year to remove scale. In hard-water areas, do it twice a year to protect flow and efficiency.
Can it go in a mobile home or at high altitude?
Yes. This model is approved for mobile homes and is a high-altitude model, though a qualified installer should confirm the setup.
What temperature range does it offer?
It adjusts from 98°F to 140°F, and Wi-Fi lets you change the setpoint from a phone.
