Richmond Water Heater Reviews

Does your current water heater limit indoor air circulation and make you feel somewhat uncomfortable? The Encore Richmond water heater features direct power vents for regulating indoor air pressure and quality.

This includes two-pipe systems; one pipe exhausts combustion gases while the other pulls in outdoor air for combustion.

Even with combustion gas exhaustion, this water still enhances a greener life as it is eco-friendly, thanks to low emissions. You can quickly install it in condos, mansions, or apartments, up to an altitude of about 9,000 feet above sea level. It comes with a concentric vent kit and long venting lengths that can stretch up to 60 feet.

You’ll enjoy an improved heating technology thanks to the center-flue design coil. We found that submerged coils condensing heat exchangers raise the temperature faster than standard coils.
