Rinnai Continuum is up to 50 percent more energy efficient than a traditional natural gas water heater and up to 70 percent more efficient than an electric water heater. Unlike antiquated hot water tanks that heat and reheat the same water 24 hours a day, Rinnai Continuum’s on-demand water heater technology is more efficient because it only heats water when it is needed. When a hot water source is opened, Rinnai Continuum senses the demand and starts delivering continuous hot water. When the hot water source is closed, the tankless water heating unit shuts off. That means no more heating water when you don’t need to.

Exclusive to the Rinnai Continuum tankless water heater is a digital control pad installed separately from the wall-mounted heating unit, allowing users to control the temperature of their water for various needs around the home. Once the temperature is set, Rinnai Continuum constantly delivers hot water at that desired temperature. This feature has great utility in households with small children and seniors to help prevent scalding accidents.

Rinnai Continuum also offers flexibility in its wall-mounted locations. Should the user prefer to mount the unit indoors, it safely uses no indoor make-up air and vents directly to the atmosphere. Because it is roughly the size of a breadbox, the Rinnai Continuum can be mounted on the exterior of a home freeing up valuable floor and closet space. The unit can be placed in a recessed box, flush-mounted and painted or textured to match the exterior of the home.
