Can rinnai wall heater run remotely?

Mine has a thermostat and with the energy saver feature selected it will come to temp and stay there, if it remains for 30 minutes it will allow the room to cool 2 degrees and continues this up to 4 degrees lower than the setting but there is no remote that I am aware of. Mine does not have timers.

It dose not have a remote control, but it has 2 timers so you can program it to come on before you get home from work and shut off in the morning when you leave. I do wish it had a remote control though.

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

I do not know what h/w cir is. I know it was a very simple hookup to my Air handler. The main unit goes where the thermostat is, the thermostat control unit can be put anywhere you want it. It mounts to the wall with 2 screws. Follow instructions and it is off and running.

There are too many variables to really answer that accurately. How often and how long are your showers? Bath tub or just showers? Do you have a dishwasher? What temperature setting will you have on it? How long is the hot water pipe run to your furthest appliance, etc. I have a large tank with generator, fireplace and the hot water heater. I fill it up once per year unless the generator runs due to a power outage. The Rinnai is quite efficient, but I would recommend you go with at least a 30lb tank and have another full tank on stand by until you learn your usage.

The Rinnai is not intended for use as a means to heat water for radiant heat. It needs a minimum water pressure of 40 psi to work. It also needs a minimum water flow of about 0.4 gallons per minute to turn on. For safety reasons, the Rinnai only heats the water to 120 degrees unless you change some internal switch settings, then the max is 140.

no controller needed, can (like mine) be plugged directly into wall for tank circulation

we love this heater - it is our second. the specifications can be found online thru the rinnai website. Ours heats 2-3 rooms very quickly and easily.

Hi Gary, good question and i do not know the answer. I know the gas paloma i had could be plugged into a garden hose. Call a plumber who sells Rinnai and ask him, i found they are always willing to help or call Rinnai directly. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Yes .. You can add a thermostat.. I actually installed a heat only wall mount thermostat .. You will have to install a control transformer also... Use the thermostat to break your primary voltage.

There is an on/off rheostat dial on the front of the unit. This would be fine if you are running straight power to the heater. I have the heater set at its highest setting and my power comes from a wall thermostat. Hope that makes sense to you.

This heater comes with a remote and, given sufficient space in rotating mode, can be placed near a wall.

It depends on how much amperage the wall timer can handle. This heater does pull some power

YES!!! I installed this thermostat to be able to control it remotely from Florida. However, if you place your internet, phone & cable (like Comcast bundle) on SEASONAL HOLD while you're away from home, you will lose the internet connection & will not be able to control the device. The heat & cool systems still work but you have no control remotely. COMCAST will not leave internet ONLY activated. It's all 3 bundled services on or off. BUMMER!!

In addition to the Rinnai unit you will need a termination vent kit and a isolation valve kit. (The isolation valve kit is included with all models NOT beginning with "V".) MyPlumbingStuff

There is a built in thermostat at the bottom. You could put a remote thermostat but would have to be wired in.

Yes. You can do it either from a web browser, by going to www.mytotalconnectcomfort.com, or by using an app on your android or iPhone. You can turn the unit on or off, set the temperature and swich between heating and cooling. I should mention that you must also have the Honewell Red Link installed and operating in conjunction with your home wifi router.

This excellent heater is vented. See details on Rinnai's website: http://www.rinnai.us/direct-vent-wall-furnace
