Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Noritz different from other tankless brands?
Noritz specializes in commercial-grade engineering applied to residential products. They're known for innovative heat exchanger designs that resist scale buildup better than competitors, making them ideal for hard water areas. Noritz units feature ultra-low NOx burners that exceed California's strict emissions standards, benefiting air quality. Their compact designs fit where other brands won't, and their commercial heritage means exceptional reliability in high-demand applications.
Are Noritz tankless water heaters good in hard water areas?
Yes, Noritz models perform exceptionally well in hard water conditions. Their heat exchanger design promotes better water flow patterns that reduce scale buildup compared to conventional designs. The commercial-grade components resist mineral accumulation better than standard residential units. However, regular descaling maintenance is still important in hard water areas. Combined with proper maintenance, Noritz units provide excellent longevity even in challenging water conditions.
Can Noritz be installed outdoors in Vancouver?
Noritz offers both indoor and outdoor models. However, outdoor tankless installations are not recommended in Vancouver due to freezing temperatures in winter. Outdoor models can freeze and suffer damage during cold snaps. We recommend indoor condensing models (like the NRC series) for Vancouver installations. These provide better efficiency, freeze protection, and performance in our climate. Outdoor models are better suited for warmer regions.
How does Noritz warranty compare to competitors?
Noritz offers competitive warranty coverage: 12 years on the heat exchanger, 5 years on parts, and 1 year on labor when installed by licensed professionals. The warranty terms are comparable to Rinnai and slightly shorter than Navien's 15-year heat exchanger warranty. However, Noritz's commercial-grade construction means excellent reliability that often exceeds warranty periods. We register all warranties at installation and provide ongoing support.
