With the onset of winter at our doorstep, the last thing you want is to get stuck in the cold…a cold shower, that is!

Well, if you want to make sure you don’t run out of hot water this winter, make the switch to a Noritz tankless water heater. You’ll save money in the long run and have endless hot water.

Noritz America, the world’s leading manufacturer of tankless water heaters and the official tankless water heater of Brad Pitt’s Make It Right project in New Orleans, Good Housekeeping’s Harlem Green House, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for 2009 and Leonardo di Caprio’s Greensburg, Kansas rebuilding efforts, has raised the bar once again with its new NR83-DVC tankless unit.

The NR83-DVC is the most eco-friendly tankless water heater on the market today, allowing consumers the ability to not only experience on-demand hot water, but also contribute to the healing of our fragile environment by decreasing their personal carbon footprint.

And, if that’s not enough, with the Federal Tax Credits available through December 31, 2010, homeowners that purchase a new Noritz unit can realize savings upwards of $1,500. So, it’s a win-win.

We spoke with Bob Hitchner, Noritz America Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, and he says if there was ever a right time to convert to tankless, it is now.

Said Hitchner, “Not only does the Noritz NR83-DVC (along with Noritz’s entire product line) give homeowners all the benefits of Noritz’s world-class technology, residents purchasing by year’s end can take advantage of the existing Stimulus Tax Credits that can amount to huge savings on the purchase of a new Noritz unit. “It really is an unbeatable combination.”

For those unfamiliar with tankless, here’s a quick lesson. Tankless water heaters work on-demand so they only heat water when necessary. When a hot water fixture is turned on or hot water is required by an appliance, the heater will sense the demand and heat the water accordingly. Standard tank water heaters store and heat water at all times, so this results in higher operating costs. In addition, tank water heaters have a limited supply of hot water, whereas a tankless system provides an endless supply of hot water. Also, since a tankless water heater is about the size of a carry-on suitcase, space consumption is drastically reduced.

The NR83-DVC’s design fulfills Noritz’s strong desire to reduce environmental burden and atmospheric pollutions. By reducing electric consumption and eliminating waste as well as decreasing the use of environmentally hazardous materials, the NR83-DVC sets the standard for recyclability and confirms Noritz’s commitment to be the “green” leader in tankless water heater technology.

The eco-friendly features of the NR83-DVC and its resulting positive impact on the environment include:

  • Exterior Casing & Burner Case (reduces hexad chrome)
  • Power Transformer (reduces consumption of stand-by electricity)
  • Water Flow Servo & Lightning Protector (reduces the use of lead)
  • PCB & Remote Circuit Boards (reduces the use of lead)
  • Inlet/Outlet Bracket (reduces the use of Cadmium)

The addition of the NR83-DVC gives Noritz an even greater stranglehold within the industry and offers consumers the most complete line of tankless products in the marketplace. The new product is ideal for smaller households and its space-saving design and zero clearance on venting makes the NR83-DVC perfect for tight areas. It also boasts a 0.82 E.F., which qualifies it for the maximum federal tax credit available.

From the smallest units, the NR66, NR71 and NR98 to the market’s most energy efficient, the NRC111 condensing unit, homeowners will be able to enjoy endless hot water while being energy efficient. In order to achieve the Energy Star rating, all units required a minimum of 82% thermal efficiency; all of the qualifying Noritz units meet that basic requirement and Noritz’s flagship model, the NRC111 condensing unit, boasts a whopping 94% super efficiency.
