Medium
Medium refers to the substance that carries heat through the heating system. Systems are either designed to use either Hot Water or Steam as a medium, and components are usually specific to one or the other.
Hot Water
Fuel Type
Fuel Type
To create heat, some form of fuel is required. Fuel Type specifies what the product uses as an input to create heat.
Natural Gas
Combustion Type
Combustion Type
Condensing appliances use leftover thermal energy from combustion gases to heat water in a secondary heat exchanger, resulting in higher efficiency and lower exhaust temperature.
Condensing
Vent Type
Vent Type
Products that use combustion (burning) of fuel to create heat also create potentially dangerous gasses that need to be exhausted (AKA "Vented"). Depending on the product, venting can be done via a chimney, through a side wall, or use a second vent to provide fresh air to the appliance.

replacing a old 100 gallon water heater that was an energy hog. Very happy with the speed of the hot water to the faucet and never running out of hot water. Can't wait to see the savings on our electric bill.

Very Happy with the upgrade
By Marcus A.

Review Posted 08/07/2018
This thing exceeded my expectations, i have a 2 bathroom home and we would regularly run out of hot water with a 40gal tank heater. When my tank was showing signs of leaking i started researching tankless and found this heater great price and better performance. I was skeptical that i was going to have to use a higher water temp setting being on a well in michigan, but we are only on the second settings at 125deg F, and the water is plenty hot and produces tons of hot water. This heater is amazing. Just do your home work on what you need if you are doing the install yourself.

Review Posted 07/30/2018
I read a lot of complaints about how long it took to get hot water. The only thing I can think of is that people have really long lines because I notice almost no difference between this and my standard hot water tank. about 30 seconds and my water is hot.
