Endless Hot Water Supply
Navien Condensing 98% Tankless Water Heaters provide
an unlimited amount of hot water at a steady temperature,
whenever you need it, for as long as you need it
Ultra Condensing Efficiency
Because this product boasts the industry’s highest efficiency, rating (98%) means
customers can cash in on low annual operating costs as well as receive the best payback, compared with conventional tankless or tank-type water heaters. Navien’s Condensing 98% Tankless also enjoys the highest gallons-per-minute (GPM) when comparing input BTUs.
Built-in Circulation Pump with Mini Buffer
Tank. “A” Models Only
Delivers hot water to fixtures quickly resulting in
water conservation.
No minimum flow rate: get hot water even at very
low flow rates of 0.1 or 0.2 GPM
Eliminates any hot/cold/hot stacking, the so-called
“Cold Water Sandwich”.
Saves additional money and time by eliminating
the pump purchase cost and on-site installation
costs.
Prevents heat exchanger from freezing
If over half of water heaters are ‘A Series models’ in Ready-Link® Cascade System,
‘Non-A Models’ can be used as part of multi-unit systems. This allows hot water circulation system as well as water savings with low costs.
Eco-Navien Technology
Navien utilizes condensing technology, which uses less gas, resulting in less CO2 emissions than conventional water heaters.
Navien’s ECO Premixed Burner not only dramatically reduces NOx emissions but also boasts the industry’s lowest level of emissions.
Partly dissolved NOx in condensed water neutralizes
the alkaline household sewage, improving water pollution.
Extended Lifecycle
Navien utilizes dual stainless-steel heat exchangers, providing 3.8 to 4.5
times longer life-expectancy and superior resistance to corrosion over the
copper exchangers used in other brands.
Navien heat exchangers operate with low-to-mid temperature water,
minimizing possible damage caused by lime build-up, making the whole
unit more efficient.
Easy Venting
The high efficiency of Navien’s Condensing 98% Tankless results in lower exhaust temperatures, allowing for the use of PVC or other plastic venting materials.
Plastic venting offers a significant savings in cost and makes installation a breeze.
Three-inch PVC venting runs up to 100 feet with six elbows;
allows for installation up to and above an altitude of 4,500 feet, without additional devices.
Space Saving
A Navien occupies approximately 90% less
space than a tank-type water heater. In addition,
a Navien mounts on your wall freeing up 100% of
traditionally lost floor space.
Advanced Technology
Enhanced safety with Dual Microprocessors
Navien’s two microprocessors offer better control and safer operation by continuously cross monitoring each other’s performance to assure proper operation at all times. These two microprocessors not only control the burner for ideal combustion but also maintain the steady hot water temperature.
Optimal and Stable Combustion with APS and GPS
APS(Air Pressure Sensor)maximizes combustion efficiency by sensing and controlling the air required for optimalcombustion-even in high-wind locations and installations with long vent runs.
GPS(Gas Pressure Sensor) offers stable combustion by sensing gas pressure and controlling the fan speed tomaintain optimal combustion, even under a wide range of gas-pressure changes.
Triple-Layered, Pre-Mixed Burner
Controls flame by pre-mixing optimal ratio of gas and air before combustion, reducing emissions and enhancing heat efficiency.
Leak Detector
Built-in leak detector prevents damage to water heater as well as personal property.
Air intake filter
An air intake filter prevents foreign substances, such as dust or insects, from entering the system, freeing the burner from elements that would normally cause unstable combustion or energy inefficiency.

We are getting a lot of questions about what qualifies under the Home Renovation Tax Credit. Here is what I found out from the Government Website:
Examples of eligible expenses
- Renovating a kitchen, bathroom, or basement
- Windows and doors
- New flooring – carpet, linoleum, hardwood, floating laminate, etc.
- New furnace, woodstove, boiler, fireplace, water softener, water heater, or oil tank
- Permanent home ventilation systems
- Central air conditioner
- Permanent reverse osmosis systems
- Septic systems
- Wells
- Electrical wiring in the home (e.g., changing from 100 amp to 200 amp service)
- Home security system (monthly fees do not qualify)
- Solar panels and solar panel trackers
- Painting the interior or exterior of a house
- Building an addition, garage, deck, garden/storage shed, or fence
- Re-shingling a roof
- A new driveway or resurfacing a driveway
- Exterior shutters and awnings
- Permanent swimming pools (in ground and above ground)
- Permanent hot tub and installation costs
- Pool liners
- Solar heaters and heat pumps for pools (does not include solar blankets)
- Landscaping: new sod, perennial shrubs and flowers, trees, large rocks, permanent garden lighting, permanent water fountain, permanent ponds, large permanent garden ornaments
- Retaining wall
- Associated costs such as installation, building plans, permits, professional services, equipment rentals, and incidental expenses
- Fixtures – blinds, shades, shutters, lights, ceiling fans, etc.
Note
Window coverings, such as blinds, shutters and shades, that are directly attached to the window frame and whose removal would alter the nature of the dwelling are generally considered to be fixtures (i.e. have become part of the home) and therefore would qualify for the HRTC. In some circumstances, draperies and curtains may qualify for the HRTC, if they would not keep their value or usefulness if installed in another dwelling. If these qualifying criteria are not met, it is likely that draperies and curtains would not qualify for the HRTC.
Examples of ineligible expenses
- Furniture, household appliances, and electronic home-entertainment devices
- Purchasing of tools
- Carpet cleaning
- House cleaning
- Maintenance contracts (e.g., furnace cleaning, snow removal, lawn care, and pool cleaning)
- Financing costs
- Amount paid as part of the purchase of your new house, including “upgrades”
- Expenses to acquire goods that have been previously used or leased by you or an eligible family member (e.g., hot water tank)
- Expenses incurred to the rental and/or business part of an eligible dwelling
Do it yourself
If you do the work yourself, the eligible expenses include expenses for building materials, fixtures, equipment rentals, building plans and permits. However, eligible expenses would not include the value of your labour or tools.
Work performed by electricians, plumbers, carpenters, architects
Generally, work performed by electricians, plumbers, carpenters, architects, etc. in respect of an eligible expense qualifies for the HRTC.
Family member hired for renovations
Expenses are not eligible if the goods or services are provided by a person related to you, unless that person is registered for the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) under the Excise Tax Act. If your family member is registered for the GST/HST and if all other conditions are met, the expenses are eligible for the HRTC.

Talking to a customer today and I thought this would be a great topic to blog about. Andrew did do a basic soap and water test and didn’t find any leaks. However, our customer still smells gas. We will send someone out again to his place to check everything. Here is a brief description of the Basic soap and water test through this excellent video.
