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!!!

 

  • Electronic 7-Stage Burner & Whisper Quiet Convection Fan for Maximum Comfort: 84% Real-time True Efficiency using ONLY a 1" exhaust vent - NOT 40-50% like No-efficiency Gas Log, Gas Stove or Furnace Units (what do you think goes out that 4-8" vent to the great outdoors on Inefficient Stoves and Furnaces (Hint...It's lost Heat and Dollars)??? - How they lie and lie just to make a sale !!!.
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 !!!

 

 

Please Study this Important Convection Heating Diagram Carefully:

Fresh Outside Air In - Exhaust Out using Multi-stage intake-exhaust blower.
Warm, Cozy, Safe and Comfortable Home Heat using quiet 7-Stage Electronic Burner & Fan Blower.

( The Rinnai Requires Electricity to Run the Ignitor, 7-stage Burner & convection fan blower and the Entire Heater. And for those who Still will ask if the Rinnai Heater works without Electricity - NO, NO, NO , NO, NO - get it?) It comes with a standard AC plug-in Wall Plug

 

 

Warranty: 2 Years Labor~5 Years Parts~10 Years Heat Exchanger - WOW !

 

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.

 

( The Rinnai Heater Requires Electricity to Run the Ignitor, 7-stage Burner & convection fan blower and the Entire Heater. And for those who Still will ask if the Rinnai works without Electricity - NO, NO, NO , NO, NO - get it?)

It comes with a standard AC plug-in Electrical Plug

 

Installation: Each Energy Saver Rinnai Heater comes complete with an easy to install Horizontal Direct-Rinnai Wall VentVent 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 !

Important Notice:

Exhaust Venting Must be installed Horizontally using the Factory Wall Vent - NOT up through the roof or into an exiting chimney or other brand flu-pipe vent. You may use an Optional Extension Kit to go up and OUT or sideways and OUT. BUT - The Factory Exhaust Flu-pipe MUST be vented Horizontally with or without with the extension kits - again installed ONLY Horizontally Rinnai Vent - NOT up or down!

 

Extension Venting Kits are available for placing Heaters on inside walls, below grade and in basements to connect to the Rinnai Heater Factory Horizontal Wall Vent -

No Rinnai Repair Video Needed !

Unlike other Heaters...The Rinnai's need no Major service or Re-builds and that is why we are are NOT producing a Video for them - how wonderful... :)

 

( The Rinnai Heater Requires Electricity to Run the Ignitor, 7-stage Burner & convection fan blower and the Entire Heater. And for those who Still will ask if the Rinnai Heater works without Electricity - NO, NO, NO , NO, NO - get it?) It comes with a standard AC plug-in Wall Plug

 

 

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.
