Exterior Mount Tankless Units in Homer, AK

Many homes have tankless heaters mounted on an exterior wall with no venting at all, since the unit exhausts directly outside. These units face sun, rain and temperature swings, which can wear out plastic covers and wiring over time. Homes here commonly use heat tape, insulated chases, and supply lines buried deep below the frost line to keep water flowing all winter. When we replace them, we check the pipe cover, freeze protection settings and the electrical connection. We can add a protective pipe cover kit to guard the water and gas lines. Exterior models are often the easiest swap when the gas line is already sized correctly.

Condensing Tankless Replacement in Homer

Condensing tankless units like the Navien NPE series or Rinnai Sensei reach efficiencies above 90 percent by recovering heat from exhaust gases. They vent through inexpensive PVC and produce acidic condensate that must be neutralized and drained properly. We install a neutralizer cartridge and route the condensate line to an approved drain. A long, severe heating season is the defining plumbing stress in Alaska, and boilers and water heaters run hard for much of the year. Condensing units still save gas because they work year-round on showers, laundry and dishes. We explain the cost difference so you can decide if the efficiency gain is worth it.
