Memphis's Trusted Professionals

As certified Rinnai installers, Choate's has completed over 1,000 tankless water heater installations throughout Memphis and the Midsouth. Our family-owned business brings decades of specialized experience with Rinnai systems to every job. We understand how Memphis's hard water conditions and seasonal temperature fluctuations impact water heater performance, ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency year-round. Our technicians complete Rinnai factory training annually to maintain installation certification and stay current on the latest advancements.

Switching to a Rinnai tankless system delivers specific advantages for Memphis homes. The precise temperature control (within ±1°F) provides consistent hot water regardless of demand. Memphis homeowners typically see a 30-40% reduction in water heating costs. The wall-mounted design saves up to 16 square feet of floor space, while the sealed combustion systems eliminate backdrafting risks and improve indoor air quality.

Rinnai on-demand water heaters achieve up to 0.96 Energy Factor ratings, activating only when hot water is needed. The copper heat exchangers deliver hot water in seconds without the recovery time traditional tanks require. With no standing water, these systems eliminate scale buildup damage and tank failure flooding risks, extending operational lifespan to nearly double that of conventional systems.

Our Installation Process for Rinnai Tankless Gas Water Heaters

Our installation process follows Rinnai's certified protocols to ensure warranty protection and optimal performance.

1. Assessment

Our technicians measure your home's actual flow rates, calculate BTU requirements based on fixture count, and evaluate existing gas line capacity. We consider Memphis's winter groundwater temperatures (approximately 52°F) to ensure adequate heating capacity during peak demand.

2. Expert Installation

We install proper Category III stainless steel venting systems that prevent corrosion and condensation damage. Our technicians size gas lines to deliver the required 180,000-199,000 BTUs Rinnai units need for optimal performance. All installations adhere to Memphis and Shelby County code requirements with documented permits and inspections.

3. Final Check

We calibrate gas pressure to manufacturer specifications (typically 5-10.5" WC for natural gas), verify flow sensor operation, and confirm temperature stability across multiple fixtures simultaneously. Every installation includes water quality testing to determine if a scale prevention system is needed for Memphis's moderate-to-hard water.

How to Choose the Right Rinnai Tankless Heater

We help select between models offering 5.3-9.8 GPM flow rates based on your specific household needs. Condensing models (achieving 96% efficiency) offer significant savings for high-use households, while non-condensing units provide more affordable options for smaller homes with moderate hot water needs.

Important Factors

Memphis homes require proper sizing to accommodate our region's 52°F average winter water temperatures. Our membership plan customers receive priority scheduling and annual descaling maintenance to prevent mineral buildup that's common with Memphis water.
