Due to the recent extreme cold temperatures throughout the USA and especially Texas a number of tankless systems have been damaged and destroyed. The R85 isn’t manufactured anymore so I will be suggesting some replacement Rinnai models that should basically be a plug and play in terms of piping and venting. Please note that every installation is different and I can’t be certain that these will fit perfectly. We also use Amazon for sipping these systems as they have by far the most efficient and speedy shipping infrastructure.

Did Your Tankless Freeze?
If it did there is a good chance that the system needs to be completely replaced. There are a number of spots that have likely been compromised as the water froze and expanded.
On the positive side of things if you are looking to increase the amount of hot water you can produce, maybe for a new bathroom, or a new multi head shower now might be a good time to upgrade to a higher BTU model.
The V94 models are able to produce more hot water than the old R85 model. Alternatively if you found you used less hot water than you had anticipated you could go down to the V75 models and produce just a little less hot water than the old R85.
UPDATE: The Rinnai R85 is not available anymore, check out the Rinnai RL94i which is the updated version. We have all specifications and prices listed for both rental and purchases.
No one ever uses hot water 24 hours a day. But, if you have a conventional tank then you’re paying to heat water 24 hours a day. With a standard water heater, you heat and reheat the same water even when you’re sleeping. No one wants to waste money but if you have a conventional tank that’s what your doing.
The Rinnai tankless R85 water heater is a more efficient way to heat water for residential users. This system heats water quickly and delivers an endless supply of hot water for as long as you need it. With the Rinnai tankless water heater, you only pay to heat water when you need it and for as long as you want it. Thus Saving money.
