This case study highlights the seamless replacement process, the importance of permits and inspections, and the customer’s satisfaction with the outcome.

The Challenge

The customer, residing in Sterling, used a traditional 50-gallon tank-type water heater for several years. However, they faced challenges due to limited space in their utility room.

The cumbersome water heater occupied valuable real estate, making maintenance and access to the main water shut-off valve difficult.

Client Objectives

The client’s primary goal was to replace their existing water heater with a more space-efficient alternative.

They sought a solution that would create additional room in the utility area and improve the overall functionality of their water heating system.

The Solution

United Air Temp recommended the installation of a Rinnai tankless water heater, known for its compact size and energy efficiency. The tankless water heater would provide an unlimited hot water supply, as it only heats water on demand, eliminating the need for a storage tank.

Additionally, to enhance the longevity and efficiency of their new tankless water heater, the customer opted for an innovative solution – the incorporation of ScaleRX, an advanced inline water treatment filter.

The ScaleRX filter provides comprehensive protection against limescale buildup, ensuring that home appliances, including the tankless water heater, remain in optimal condition. This cutting-edge technology operates without needing a power supply, batteries, chemicals, or replacement filters, making it a hassle-free choice for homeowners.

The straightforward installation of ScaleRX seamlessly complemented the tankless water heater upgrade, and its maintenance-free nature further contributed to the virtually maintenance-free experience of the entire system.

With the combined benefits of the Rinnai Tankless water heater and the ScaleRX filter, the customer is now equipped with a highly efficient, space-saving, and durable water heating solution that will serve their needs for years to come.
