If you need to replace an old water heater, consider a Navien tankless water heater in Boulder, CO. A Navien water heater installed by our plumbers at TYCO Plumbing is an excellent long-term investment. Many Navien water heaters have the ENERGY STAR label, which makes them eligible for rebates and tax credits. The operating costs of an on-demand water heater are lower, and these systems have long life spans, too. Those benefits result in a water heater that costs less to own over its working lifetime.
"TYCO was wonderful. Fixed a variety of issues in one trip- Installed toilet, replaced 3 valves, bleeder screw and ran a new water line. Josh was very knowledgeable and more than willing to explain things. Highly recommend!" - Andrea M.
Is the installation of a Navien tankless water heater in Boulder worth it? Yes, absolutely. While tankless systems do cost more to purchase and install, they save money in the long term. The other advantage is that you’ll enjoy a virtually unlimited supply of hot water. The days of running out will be a thing of the past.
Navien specializes in fuel-burning water heaters. Its most popular models burn natural gas. If you lack natural gas access, you can choose a unit that burns propane or fuel oil. These units do require an electrical connection despite being fuel-based. They use the electricity for the ignition system, the LCD display, and smart features, if applicable.
The industry measures water heater efficiency using the Uniform Energy Factor (UEF). The higher the UEF, the more efficient the water heater is. In other words, it will be cheaper to operate. UEF for a traditional fuel-burning tank water heater is between 0.54 and 0.72. Noncondensing gas water heaters generally have a UEF of at least 0.80. Condensing tankless water heaters usually have a UEF of at least 0.85. Two of Navien’s most popular models have a UEF of 0.95 and 0.96.
A non-condensing water heater is a traditional water heater. Non-condensing means that the system loses a certain amount of heat energy in the gases it exhausts. Condensing systems prevent much of that loss. They use a second heat exchanger to condense the water vapor in the gases prior to exhausting them. The resulting moisture drains away. What’s left is heat energy that the system uses to help heat the water.
What about mounting your Navien water heater? You have a wide range of options, including an outdoor install. Installing outdoors can avoid any upgrades you may otherwise need to your plumbing. Indoors, we can install it on a wall in your water heater closet, which you can then repurpose. We often install Navien water heaters in garages and attics as well.
There are many benefits to investing in a Navien water heater:
High flow rate
High energy efficiency
Long equipment life span
Long and robust warranty coverage
