Tankless Myth 3
Myth #2

Venting is too expensive on tankless water heaters.

We offer affordable concentric venting, including 2" by 4" diameter for condensing. Concentric vent installation is beneficial because it requires just one penetration through a nearby roof or wall and less material leads to reduced costs. Additionally, our condensing tankless water heaters can use 2" PVC for vent runs up to 65 feet and in some cases can use room air for intake. The Tankless Truth is, we’ve made tankless water heater venting affordable.
