TANKLESS WATER HEATER. Replacing a Rinnai heat exchanger

This is a step by step of replacing a Rinnai heat exchanger non-condensing models. It would be advisable to have a professional do this work for you, but I’m not looking to tell a free person what to do in their own home. Just trying to help #tanklesswaterheater #tankless #rinnai #heatexchanger #fix

🤜🤛

You legit just made this job look like a cakewalk😂👍🏽👍🏽 my company fully won’t even do a Rinnai heat exchanger change out just because of the hassle and labor. Navien Vesta and others seem to be a lot easier to work on. Rinnai is the devil. Great work soldier

[@Sickkidsentertainment]

Were Rinnai dealers so we don’t really get a choice. I very rarely work on naviens but from what I know about the setup it would probably be easier

[@R06NS]

@@Sickkidsentertainment I’d say the navien has about half as many screws lol. Still kinda sucks but you made my worst nightmare look too easy. I need to get on this level.

[@MisterTwister88]

Im thinking i would probably just replace the heater

[@Sickkidsentertainment]

Makes good sense to do but its under warranty

[@josephchiavetta6361]

Compared to a navien this is torture 😂

Durn what was the difference between just replacing the durn thing

[@jboy856]

warranty is the reason.

[@AntThePlumber]

What do you charge for an exchanger I was always on the fence to do this just because of the hassle … I’d replace only 😂

[@Sickkidsentertainment]

1295 heat exchanger was warrantied by the manufacturer so thats straight labor

[@AntThePlumber]

@@Sickkidsentertainment that seems low bro

Memo to self: Never, repeat never, buy a Rinnai water heater... way to complicated for an inferior means to heat water

[@Sickkidsentertainment]

I personally prefer a tankless to a tank but i have a big family

[@nickj2508]

Those engineers are not very good. It is not hard to make thats modular for service. You shouldn't have had to disassemble the whole thing to fix it.

[@Sickkidsentertainment]

Agreed plenty of boiler manufacturers have figure that out

Just to much.Technology is a good thing and sometimes not such a good thing
