About This Water Heater
The NRCR92 combines a high-efficiency condensing tankless water heater with a built-in recirculation pump — the only unit of its kind with up to 500 ft of recirculation loop. Auto Mode learns your household's hot water schedule and pre-heats accordingly. Features Wi-Fi capability, three recirculation modes (on-demand, scheduled, crossover), and a 15-year heat exchanger warranty. Ideal for homes with long pipe runs where wait time for hot water is a frustration.
Why Does Tankless Cost More to Install?
Converting from a traditional tank water heater to a tankless system is not a simple swap. It is a full retrofit — and the additional cost reflects the right way to do the job.
Exhaust Vent Replacement
The existing flue or exhaust vent must be completely replaced with PVC/CPVC piping compatible with the condensing unit.
Dedicated Gas Line
A dedicated gas line must be run from the gas meter to supply the higher BTU demand required for proper functionality and longevity.
Condensate Drain Line
Condensing tankless units produce acidic condensate that must be routed to the exterior or an approved drain with a neutralizer.
Isolation Valve Kit
Required for annual descaling maintenance access — a code and manufacturer requirement on every tankless installation.
California Code Requirements
Every CA installation requires bonding and grounding, a thermal expansion tank, and a gas debris trap on the gas line — no exceptions.
The Right Way
These are not upsells. They are what separates a professional installation from one that creates problems — and callbacks — down the road.
