Rinnai Heater & Gas Heating.
1004 ~ 556 ~ 431 ~ 263
The Most Efficient and Reliable Direct Vented Natural GAS and LP Gas Heaters In the World!
|
Important Consumer Notice: The Rinnai Gas Heaters are the FINEST Direct Vent Natural and LP Gas Heater made in the world! We have had experience with most other Major Heating Lines, and if all of the heaters sold were as High Quality, Reliable and Trouble-free as the Rinnai Direct Vented Heater - ALL Service Department would be out of business!!!
I
have NEVER sold a repair
part for a Rinnai Gas
Heater, whereas parts
for Monitor Heaters fly
out my door by the Thou$ands.
The State Distributor
told me that Rinnai is
the LOWEST repair product
they have ever sold! Taking
into consideration all
the costs for repairs
and maintenance for Monitor
K-1/Oil Heaters, All Customers
are far better off in
the long run with a Gas
Rinnai Vented Heater.
If you are looking for an LP Gas or Natural Gas Heater for any situation, then the Rinnai Heater is absolutely the Best without question. Their Quality is #1; Their Technical Service is Great; and their Company is VERY responsive to The Consumer - What more could you ask for except for the BEST DEAL? Al's Heating has that !!!

The Rinnai Heater's sealed combustion system prevents the main cause of Heating-inefficiency: cold air infiltration. Because It uses outside air for combustion, no cold outside air is drawn into the house for combustion causing drafts, heat loss and that generally 'cold feeling' - and losing up to 40% efficiency waste heat out the Flue-pipe as with heaters that have a 4-5-6-7-8" vent stacks. Therefore Rinnai Heating heats your home with HIGHEST EFFICIENCY and saves you up to 1/2 on fuel over old style large Vent heaters at the same time.

Remember: If you get too small a Heater and it runs on 'High' most of the time in cold weather...you will get metal fatigue and shorten the life of the Heater by 1/2! If you are within 200sq./ft. of your heater's maximum capabilities...Then go up to the next size and it will run on medium or low thus doubling the life of the Heater.

With the
Rinnai Heater, the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) is NOT in the least important.
The comfort level of the Rinnai Heater depends on a Regular, Light and
Constant movement of Heated Air around the entire Living Space in a
'Convection / Egg-beater Pattern' giving
Un-beatable Comfort throughout the Entire House over any other Heater
made!
|
|
It is ABSOLUTELY
mandatory that you use a High-quality Surge-Protector
with EACH Heater!
|
For uneven floor installations, leveling feet come standard on all Rinnai Heater models.

Installation: Each
Energy Saver Rinnai Heater comes complete with an easy to install Horizontal
Direct-Vent
Double-Walled Venting kit; a great template and TERRIFIC directions. Simply
drill a 3" hole through the wall; Insert Rinnai's special direct vent Double-Walled
tube, adjust it to the wall thickness & mount the outside wall cap plate
to the tube. Then connect the Rinnai Direct-Vent Free-Standing High Efficiency
Heater and be prepared to be Toasty-warm ALL
winter and for Years to come!!!
Here
is the inside view of the Rinnai (or Toyo / Monitor ) Vent-pipe showing the
3 side Ports and Center Out-let. The Vent Ports (the whole Vent) rotates 360
degrees so that the Intake and Exhaust can be connected to the Heater in any
direction. In this photo the Top and Left-sides are the In-take Ports and
the Right and Center are the Exhaust Ports. This Rotational ability gives
plenty of versatility to install the Heater in any area, angle or direction
for the most effective Rinnai Convection Heating
Comfort. Once the Heater is installed and the side and top shrouds
are in place, there is no plumbing showing behind the heater.
|
Here is a cost-saving idea: In many areas you can buy and own your own LP Tank. That means you can shop ALL the different Propane Dealers to get the best LP deal and NOT be owned by your Dealer. Hints from Al! |
|
Many 'HVAC
Internet Dealers' strongly recommend that you have your Rinnai
Heater 'Professionally Installed'
- ARE THEY NUTS ??? The way most Installers rape the homeowner it usually costs you between $400-2000 to have the Plumber or Gas Company do this simple job that you can do (it's always nice to have a friend to help) of cutting a 3" hole in the wall; inserting the vent; running the 1/2" soft-copper tubing (depending on Codes) to the heater from the tank and that is all there is to it. Then the Gas Company will send a man to hook up each end and pressure test the system for usually $75-100...NOT $400-2000! These greedy Installers want to make this seem like some kind of magic when in reality it is just hokey-pokey on their part to lift your wallet right out of your pants - Don't let them do it !

Very Important Notice: Please do NOT call if you are looking for an UN-VENTED gas heater as that is NO different than putting all your family into your garage, shutting all the doors, starting up your car and then laying them down for a very long and permanent sleep - Good Luck! More and more States are making Un-vented Heaters ILLEGAL as they are in fact dangerous to the Health of you, your family, your pets, etc. ALL un-vented heaters emit toxic fumes, vapors, bad odors, stain the walls, ceilings and drapes. The excess moisture emitted into the house with an un-vented heater can cause severe and DANGEROUS mold and mildew problems. If you want to buy a cheap UN-vented heater, you should first put your hand in your pants to see how small your brain is!!! PS: I have been getting more and more calls from people who unsuspectingly were sold Un-vented heaters by idiot money-grubbing 'Big-box-bandits store retailers'. Customers have had gallons of water and moisture exhausted into the house by indoor combustion; fumes and odors; sore throats and coughing; mold and mildew problems; and very poor heating performance - Don't be one of these sorry ones - purchase ONLY a Rinnai Vented Gas Heater for your Family! |
WARNING:
The Rinnai Heater Warranty is only Transferrable if the Heater remains in the ORIGINAL place of Installation (you buy a house where the Heater was originally installed and has NOT been moved). In other words - you cannot take it out of one house, sell it, and have it installed somewhere else and still have a warranty. If you buy a used one somewhere...do NOT expect any Warranty from Rinnai.
