Can anyone recommend a tankless water heater that does not require electricity? We use propane too.?

by Water Heaters on May 9, 2010

Our 17 year old water heater broke. We really want to get a tankless now to replace it. We can’t easily run power out to where our water heater is now so we need a new one that does not need power. The Tankless needs to run on propane and be able to be outside in a small shed on the back of our house. We only need one to run 1 shower at a time since we are a small family. Any suggestions? Do you use one and are they are they worth the money?

Something like a Rinnai is only the size of a small suitcase. They are white and can be partly built into the wall. BUT: They are best used indoors, mounted on an outside wall (for ventilation). They do need electricity though, for the controls. All these heaters need at least 120v power.
Talk to a local HVAC contractor about your problem.
The thing is though, all these tankless units are fairly costly. But they are almost 100% efficient. And they don’t care about the amount of hot water you use.

No too sure where you are, but here’s a link that may give you more info on the LPG powered tank-less heaters. http://www.dumbshoppers.com/tankless-water-heater/

Every maker has indoor and outside tank-less heaters.
Look on eBay and craigslist for deals.
