You would need to run power to it. They have gas tankless too. More money but cheaper to run than electric. No gas where I live so I went to electric.

Yes you can Marilyn. But you will need to run more power to the unit...larger wires, bigger breakers. Hope that helps.

Yes you can. My advice is to contact Customer service at Ecosmart. They are fantastic and can guide you. I did not do this prior to my purchase and because of my unique circumstances it did not work for me. However, Ecosmart and Amazon went above and beyond to rectify MY error. Call them. They will tell you all you need to know. I spoke to Winston.

Just as you need an exhaust system for your regular water heater, you need one for the tankless. It is important to review the specifications to determine the exhaust system component requirements of each type of water heater. The correct type and configuration is important to preserve your warranty rights.

No you can not. If you have an electric stove, you'll have to get the one without the bottom part - this one only work on gas stove. Hope this helps.

You will need both. First, the Electrician is needed to wire the tankless heater, and then, the plumber to hook up to the plumbing and remove the current water heater tank.

A typical (gas or electric) tank water heater is simple, just not as efficient. Because this is more complex and newer technology, it has more "failure" points, so don't dream that this will be as reliable as an electric tank water heater. But, it is compact, quick, efficient - so just make sure you get a good extended warranty that includes the labor cost of fixing problems.

You might check your local codes, but I believe not. Expansion tanks often are installed on gas water heaters since they may heat in a way to produce some extra pressure. There is a pressure relief valve it there is a pressure problem anyway.

I'm not 100% sure. I have the electric/gas option and use the gas. The pressure relief valve went bad on mine and the water shorted out the thermostat. Called suburban, gave them model # and was given the part # I needed. Hope this helps.

I think this can replace your thermostat. You didn't say if the system was electric or gas (hot water) heating but the heavy current is probably being handled by a system relay. You can download the manual and installation document from Honeywell for additional information, and/or check with a heating contractor to be sure.

Yes & its not a big deal. Many heating & ac stores will do it for you. You will need a flex supply hose (required & avalible via amazon). Remove the short connection hose & regulator from the grill as you will attach the new flex line direct. Next remove the 3 jets & drill them out to a larger size. Natural gas is not high pressure. Contact heating & ac store for size of drill bit. I had my converted by a pro & really have enjoyed the ease of natural gas & no hassel of tank replacement. Good luck hope tkis helps. Bill

Sort of, but likely not really. I have two different water heating systems. works great with a tank system. My plumber contacted the manufacturer of my veisman tankless boiler/water heater and they strongly advised against using a recirc line and the pump. they said it would make the tankless unit run very often and likely short cycle, vs. a tank that cools a bit and then has to run a lot to reheat back to temp. I wouldn't do it on a tankless.

Sure you can. As I am not expert in this field but the way understand you just need to change the adaptor. There is one for natural gas & one for propane gas. But I suggest you call the Webber and ask them. They provide great customer service.

It's electric, not gas. However, there may be adaptors to convert, but I don't know.

Hi, I can't say for sure as I have she Noritz, but I have a water softener. I do know there are many recommendations that if you have hard water something should be done to prevent build up.I assume you're considering a tankless as a move away from a tank style water heater. If your tank style did not last many years I'd suggest something to protect the tankless. This of this. These units run water through small tubes that are heated to make hot water. These tubes wouldn't take much to be come clogged. Hope I was of some help.

Yes you do need electricity the unit has many sensors and a fan that needs electricity it runs on standard household power 110volts. I replaced my old water heater that was a natural gas unit and already had a gas line that I used it is a 3/4" service and seems to work well

I'm no expert, but my experience with the Suburban RV water heater is that it is so efficient I wouldn't bother with changing it out for a tankless. Issues with tankless water heaters would additionally affect that decision. I purchased and prepared to install a tankless in our Arizona home at 4100 ft elevation and upon reading the instructions found it wouldn't function well above 3000 ft without some modifications. My experiences travelling with RV's is that I frequently used my Suburban water heater at elevations as high as 8000 ft. without any issues. Also, varying water conditions could speed the clogging of the tubes in a tankless. Just my opinion..

Your building code will let you know if it's okay. Some states let you have a propane ventless but not natural gas and there's restrictions as to what room you may install the unit, as in not a bedroom. And yes a gas line is needed for the gas unit. I put in my line but I'm a building contractor, so unless you are handy you will need a plumber to install the line.

You must have "gas" to use this heater. If you don't have gas in your home then this type of heater will not work. If you have an all electric home. I suggest contacting your gas company for advice on the type of heater to get. I'm not an expert at all.
