I run 140 on the Navien 199,000 BTU model. I like a 105 hot shower…Does everyone keep the water temp around 120 or do you drop it and just go full hot at the endpoints?

Unfortunately only if powered by renewables this year, now last year one could…Not 100% but I rember reading something recently that tankless water heaters qualify for a tax credit currently too!
Tankless Water Heaters: Tax Credits and Rebates You Can Get
You can get a residential energy property credit of $300 if your tankless water heater uses a renewable energy source. Residential energy efficiency credits are no longer in effect as of December 31, 2021, but residential renewable energy products still qualify for tax credits until December 31...www.attainablehome.com
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!There may be a rebate with your gas company as well. I filed for one with mine last week on the new water heater. Will see if I get it, plus hopefully the tax credit as well.
If you did a high Efficiency water heater of either type check to see if you gas company has a rebate. I had to look deep as the web page company has still says 2021 then in a small side bar it says 2022.THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
This post should net me $500 bucks I had no idea about.
120° for me.Thanks for the input everyone, given the power vent tanks seem to be around $1500 I'm certainly leaning toward tankless. Was looking at the big Rinnai (160k - 200k) units but will look into the Navian units too. The existing WH exhaust is 3" PVC I'm hoping it would be enough to support a tankless system as well.

The install manuals I've read indicate that direct or indirect venting is acceptable if the room is big enough to supply the combustion air. Our utility room is pretty large.120° for me.
Unless things have changed your tankless will be double wall 5" plastic, its for air in and air out.

Anyone have theirs mounted free standing? I know they're designed to go on a wall but the current water/gas/exhaust lines are kind of in the middle of the room. Not sure what the builder was thinking when they laid it all out. I may be building something for it to hang on.
I know nothing of these Navian units, whats you opinion of them?i heat my house with one and sell and install a bunch of them
I like mine. My only complaint is that the long run to the master bath takes too long to get hot. It appears to throttle the flow until it gets to them then it boosts the flow.I know nothing of these Navian units, whats you opinion of them?
they are a good unit.... i sell Takagi's they have a 15 year exchanger warranty and 5 years on the rest of the parts.I know nothing of these Navian units, whats you opinion of them?

What do you think of the Navi Circget this and put the tee and your longest run and set the time for when you use that shower the most.....they work very well
What do you think of the Navi Circ

Thanks. Good to hear if I decide to ever get one. I didn't bother with it as our bathrooms, including the master are pretty quick to get hot. Our kitchen sink run is the slowest to get warm and I didnt consider it worthy to warrant it currently, without more info on it. I kind of figured the same thing, just more cycles on the heater that would cut into my energy savings and life of the heater, that I may not need.they work good they just cycle the heater a lot when there is no demand
Navien reduces the warranty, half IIRC, if you have a circulation pump, I suspect they all would due the increases run time. Some Navien models are both residential and commercial, however if you select commercial mode the warranty is cut in half.Thanks. Good to hear if I decide to ever get one.

I was also interested in the Navi Link, but the app got pretty bad reviews, and figured that would just drive me nuts if the app wasn't good.
Yep, saw that if you have an external recirc set to cycle continously. If it's "controlled" it doesn't.Navien reduces the warranty, half IIRC, if you have a circulation pump, I suspect they all would due the increases run time.
