Rinnai is raising the bar in tankless heating technology with their SENSEI™ tankless water heaters. Rinnai's SENSEI™ series provides a better experience for both users and installers alike with simple installation, serviceability, efficient performance, and flexible venting options. The SENSEI's™ advanced condensing technology can easily adapt to colder climates with freeze protection down to -4° F for outdoor units. A corrosion-resistant stainless steel heat exchanger, integrated check valve and included safety devices allow for powerful and efficient water heating for years to come.

Benefits of a Tankless Hot Water Heater:

  • Endless hot water - Heats water as it goes through the pipes, offering endless hot water for your home (or business)

  • Hot water on demand - Once you turn the water on, hot water runs through your pipes and out the faucet! Virtually no time or water is wasted waiting for the water to heat up

  • Highly Efficient - Gallon for gallon, you will spend less money heating your hot water. With a tankless system, the water is heated on demand rather than sitting in a storage tank. A storage tank typically heats the water intermittently throughout the day and night not only when it is needed. This unit is Energy Star Qualified and features an Energy Factor of 0.96 (the closer to 1.0 the better)

  • Long-lasting - Unlike a storage tank in which the water sits in the tank all the time creating sediment and rust, a tankless water heater will last longer

  • EZ Connect - Allows for connection of two units together

Features

  • Professional installation recommended, Rinnai for assistance
  • Energy Star qualified with a uniform energy factor of .93
  • Equipped with Rinnai Circ-Logic™ - pair with an external pump to reduce wait time for hot water via scheduled or on-demand recirculation (not included)
  • Save time with hot water whenever and wherever you need it, any size home, even for simultaneous uses at multiple fixtures
  • Save energy and reduce utility costs by operating only when hot water is needed
  • Temperature lock function prevents accidental or unauthorized changes to water temperature
  • Complies with South Coast Air Quality Management District 14 ng/J or 20 ppm NOx emission levels
  • Every SENSEI™ water heater is Wi-Fi compatible for remote monitoring and management.
  • The Rinnai SENSEI™ series water heaters feature a fiber mesh premix burner that provides an even flame distribution for optimal performance and efficiency.
  • The included stainless steel heat exchanger features corrosion-resistant properties to ensure reliable and long-lasting operation, while its superior efficiency puts the SENSEI™ series at the top of its class.
  • Perfect for both new installs and retrofits, the SENSEI™ features the most flexible venting in the industry. Whether your install requires concentric, direct, room air, or common venting, the SENSEI™ series can handle it all.
  • The SENSEI™ water heater features an adjustable mounting plate and a rotatable pressure relief valve to accommodate a variety of install applications.
  • An easily accessible parameter adjustment allows for fast and simple servicing.
  • Enables easy preventative maintenance, annual flushing, and serviceability.

  • Researched and ordered my fireplace from US FIreplace Store. Pricing was a fair value however, the customer service was EXCELLENT! I had an issue with the direct vent venting. I called US Fireplace and the correct items were sent out the next day AND Janessa stayed on top of my return authorization and sent me the permissions and documents I needed to return the incorrect item and no cost to me, including return shipping. Overall, I am a very satisfied customer and my fireplace looks and operates flawlessly. I am glad that I selected US FIreplace to source my direct vent fireplace. Thank you for the great service.

  • I had placed an order, through Lowe's Home Improvement, for an Electric Firebox: Revillusion RBF42. Ordered 1st part of January. Was told I would have it in 3 weeks. When checking to see is it came in, was told it was delayed to 3/15. Was then told is was delayed until 4/25. Waited until 4/27 to check on it. Was then told it was now delayed until August. This firebox was going in a new Sun Room addition. I could not get my final inspection until the Firebox was installed. I went on line and googled for this same product. US Fireplace Store web site was given to me. This was on a Saturday. I call and reached a very nice man. Explain what I was look for. He checked and told me they had 30 of them in stock. I almost fell out of my chair. I clarified with him the product I was wanting. I ask how soon could I get it. He told me it would ship today. Again, was amazed. It arrived on the following Monday. What a pleasure and a relief working with US Fireplace Store and their employees. Exceed my expectations.

  • Great prices, quick delivery and fast hassle free services on the issue I encountered. I had purchased an electric fireplace unit that would not fit into the existing fireplace space. With one email I was able to get the wrong fireplace refunded and picked up at my home at no extra cost and the new one I purchased and delivered free of charge. Great company.
