Will this work for a mobile home? Hurricane Milton just took mine out... I'm sick of replacing those big heavy tanks I'm only 5'3 n 130 pounds im dying out here... my roommates r both elders ... s.o.s. me lol ... but seriously I really need advice here...

I installed my 199k btu heater 18 years ago. We love the fact that we can wash dishes @ 160 degrees (THEY ARE CLEAN) then set the heater @ 115 for everything else. The heater is a 2006 unit and I have never had to touch it, cover has never been off. Can’t whoop a Noritz.

We have no gas, not an option.

nice video.

@4:54 OK I'm out. The internal lime scale is the only thing holding my 80+ yr old pipes together.

You left off the part where after the pilot light lights you turn the black gas control valve knob to the ON position. Then you turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature setting. 😃

A Heat pump water heater is dumb for some, here's why. You take heat out of the houses air to transfer to the water, now the furnace has to run more to make up the heat stolen for the house. I guess it is ok if you live in a hot climate. So it is good for some areas but dumb for other areas.

2:06 " Heat pump water heaters capture heat from the surrounding hot air and transfer it to ELECTRICITY POWERED COILS!!" Yikes! who wrote that script and didn't double check it? The video made by you on the Aug 25, 2023 actually gets it right where you say "Heat pumps work like a refrigerator but in reverse" meaning its refrigerant passing through a closed loop system. They also have an electrical coil that can heat water if the heat pump can absorb enough from the air.

Most of the things listed here also can go wrong with any water heater and are not specific to hear pump water heaters

I wanted to take this video seriously until I seen the host with the fishing lure in his nose

Oscar!!!!!!!❤❤❤

Check reviews at Lowes before you buy an A O Smith heat pump water heater

I cannot have electric tankless water heater because I live in California rural at constantly electrically outages. So, propane is wiser plus, using generator for the balancing heating and start up flame too.

2:56 Does it really just dump a bunch of acidic water right down the wall into the foundation stucco?

Navien is garbage, will never buy one again, nothing but problems, not worth it.

Very informative!

I am confused. If Mitsubishi is so efficient then why does Mitsubish compressors (in the 25 - 40 BTU range) not rate as Energy Star (tax rebate) certified? So far as I know (according to the pro installer, a directly phone call to the company itself AND the AHRI directory,org) Mitsubishi, most (or all Daikin) are not eligible for tax rebates in the US. What am I missing?

Anyone with basic skills can install one of these

A 0.90 UEF is not “efficient” compared to a heat pump alternative. Electric heaters are resistance heaters, expensive to run. Just like tank heaters. Tankless might be “efficient” when not being used, making the overall monthly electrical usage lower than a tank’s. But that’s like saying a gas guzzling car is efficient when it’s parked.

Wouldn't melting durring a fire be helpful in helping to put out yhe fire?

Great Video, I have a 2-story house that I'm installing a Navian 240a tankless water heater in and the cross over valve looks like the best option for me to go with because the house only has 4 bathrooms, and the furthest bathroom is on the first floor and would be a pain to run a line to.

So this video tells us we need a technician for every code! Wow, how helpful this video is, lol, what a joke!

Electric water heaters are popular in Europe because they can run double the voltage we can in America. A 220v line requires a thick and expensive cable to carry current, but if you have a higher voltage grid you don’t need big cables because the heater isn’t drawing huge current when it has voltage instead.

Clown! 😂😂😂😂

Hopefully this video is from Trinidad, and he's talking Trinidad&Tobago dollars.

We focus on tankless water heaters and are looking for testers to shoot videos. We look forward to collaborating with you and hearing back from you.

Very clear information presented!

6000 to 8000$ to install 1500$ water heater? Lol. You guys really making fools out of people

Pros Less energy consumption Less cycling Longer service live Cons Expensive Harder to repair Some use only OEM parts Saved you 4 minutes

Scammers

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY--YOU CAN'T USE YOUR EXISTING VENT.

hhmmmmm. i noticed multiple contradictions. the first thing out of his mouth was that heat pumps are more efficient. Then at the end he says one of the cons is that they use considerably more power. In the middle of his speech he says it will save 50% of your electricity bill. Which 1 is it??

I would imagine placing these in the attic is ideal since attics are usually hotter all year round

I have a Noritz tankless water heater (uses gas) and the high pitched fan noise it makes after you turn hot water off drives me crazy. It's insane how noisy it is, all day every time you use water. Very annoying.

People with heat pumps in cold climates probably dont mind sitting in a house thats 50 degrees myself I will keep my gas furnace and stay warm at 74 degrees.

We get temp in the winter sometimes -10 here in Kansas..I am not taking my chances on a heat pump especially costing thousands and thousands of dollars.

They’re all made in the same factories, efficiency rate can be cheated. Best thing you can get is a fan coil or hydro furnace otherwise it’s a box. Not a good trend to get consumers focused on the box and not the service. We offer 10-12 years warranty parts and labour on our own dime, plus consumables and tune ups for that 12 years.

I’m getting error 43, it’s not listed on the manual

Vote for Pedro

Just so you know without CO2, you wouldn’t have grass you wouldn’t have trees. It would be a brown desolate, dead agricultural country. Do your research please before you believe the nonsense they tell you.

How often do you change the filter?

Unfortunately harris democrat party con new laws have dramatically increased our electricity prices. Unless we get nuclear powdered like France, the $500+ annual electricity cost for an electric unit adds considerable cost with inflation.

Probably one of the absolutely most worthless videos where the guy talks a lot but says nothing - I want the 5 minutes back you stole from my life - not a single bit of useful information. Didn’t even get into the math behind when existing ducts can be used or not.

Sounds all well and good until Pacificorp decides to up your electricity rates by 70%...

Our experinces...While out of town a HVAC company charged me $2300 to replace a 40gall gravity draft NG HW tank at a rental, so I have been installing Stiebel Eltron electric units in all our upstate NY properties. Some are already 12 years old. In 2009 I replaced our 80gall NG HW tank with a cheap NG on-demand jaccuzzi I got at Lowes for $150. It was return & had everything with it. My NG bill dropped $1600 the following year & that old system is still running. But at the time we had 5 teenage showers going every morning with 2 of them teenage girls so that 80gall HW tank would run out of HW fast. My Lakehouse neighbor paid $3200 to replace his propane HW tank, has to drain & winterize every year, pay for the propane tank rental & refill & his propane fce is never used. That same year 2015 I installed a $699 Stiebel Eltron in our ALL ELECTRIC lakehouse & our highest electric bill since was $68 (summer 2024) with our mini split a/c etc also running constantly. 4 years ago I installed a Stiebel Eltron ($799) in our Scottsdale vacation home & the NG bill dropped from $145 to $16/month. Our old 50gall HW tank cooked HW constantly even when the garage was 110deg F. Our cooktop & BBQ are now the only systems using NG & the NG fces have NEVER been used. 5 years ago I installed an $899 AO Smith 166kBTU NG HW system in our 7 unit apt bldg. It replaced the 75gall NG HW tank that constantly ran out of HW & after 5-6 years they all leaked.The NG billing dropped signifcantly & with 17-20 taking showers no-one has complained about no HW. That same year my BIL replaced two 75gall NG HW tanks with a NG Navien system ($7200) & he had call backs for several months after for board issues & still waits minutes for HW to arrive at the faucetts.

it cost me 8600

Very convincing time to go tankless

So which do you recommend!?

Great explanation, Thanks.
