Apparently these appliances are big everywhere but here in the US. An article in the latest ReadyMade magazine confirms it. Therefore I started looking into the Rinnai tank-less water heater. Here are the specs for future reference:</p> <p>Model: <span class="caps">R53</span> Btu input: 15-180 <span class="caps">EF NG</span>: 0.82 <span class="caps">EF LP</span>: 0.87 Flow rate (gpm): 0.8-5.3 (EF = energy factor) List price: $990</p> <p>Maybe when it is not 0 degrees outside and we have more than $0 dollars in our bank account we&#8217;ll have a gander at this unit.</p> Tue, 06 Feb 2007 07:36:00 -0800 urn:uuid:3dca18f4-5afa-40c3-9b29-7c2495a4144b Matthew http://house.abarrelofthis.com/articles/2007/02/06/going-tank-less Modern amenities water heater <p>We are installing these in the houses I am developing in Baltimore.

However, if you have radiators, a super-efficient boiler that provides instant hot water for everything, is actually better.</p> Wed, 07 Feb 2007 12:18:14 -0800 urn:uuid:7ba514a0-13cd-4b9e-a6fc-3f860182f812 http://house.abarrelofthis.com/articles/2007/02/06/going-tank-less#comment-116
