High-efficiency Water heaters save you money by only burning natural gas when you need it!

Enjoy the benefits of an energy-efficient water heating system that heats water only when it’s needed. Tank-less systems use high-powered burners to quickly heat water as it runs through a heat exchanger, which Consumer Reports found were 22 percent more energy efficient on average than the gas-fired storage-tank models in their independent testing.

Also called Instantaneous Water Heaters or on-Demand Water Heaters, tankless installations can provide and endless supply of hot water to multiple appliances simultaneously, without any fluctuation in temperature. Tank-less systems are also exteremely energy-efficient, because they are not continuously heating a huge tank of water when you’re not using it.

Because a tankless system does not have a large storage tank, these water heaters take up less space in your Portland, Oregon home than traditional “holding-tank” water heaters.

The best of both worlds: Natural Gas and Tankless technology from Pioneer Gas Furnace.

There are both electric and natural-gas fired tankless models on the market, but Pioneer recommends the natural-gas fired models for their consistency and performance compared to the electric models. Most homes require some amount of electrical re-writing to supply the electric models, and most electric models can’t deliver hot water fast enough to replace a conventional water heater if ground­water is cold, as evidenced in Consumer Reports testing. And Portland’s water supply, originating from the glaciers on Mt. Hood, is very cold!
With more than 30 years’ experience with Natural Gas appliance installations, Pioneer can get your tankless water heater installed right, making sure that your Natural Gas hookups are up to code, and that the carbon-dioxide waste gases from your natural gas water heater are properly vented to keep you and your family safe.

Replace your Furnace and your Hot Water Heater with one, high-efficiency system!

More than just a hot water heater for showers, kitchen, and bathing, Tankless Hydronic Heating Systems provide both basic needs for your Portland, Oregon Home by using heated water to heat your whole home, while providing an uninterrupted on-demand hot water supply for your Portland home.

Energy efficient, on-Demand natural gas heat and hot water:

The Rinnai tankless heating system gives you a system with matched components: an on-demand, tankless hot water heater, and a Hydronic Furnace that uses that hot water to heat every room in your Portland, Oregon home.

Some common questions about using hot water and Hydronic Furnaces to heat your home:

Don’t I need special pipes run all over my house and under my floor to heat my home with hot water?

No! Tankless Hydronic Furnaces are different than Radiant Floor Heating (or radiant wall heating). While both are using hot water, a Hydronic Furnace is a different concept than radiant heating, even though the furnace itself looks and functions a lot like a regular natural gas furnace. Hydronic furnaces function by passing hot water through a heating element (that looks a lot like a car radiator), and then using a fan (or blower) to blow air through the element, sending warm air up through the ducts in your house just like a regular furnace does. You don’t have to install or maintain a crazy network of pipes at all.

So do I have to hire a Plumber, and you guys too?

Nope! In most cases, you don’t need a plumber to utilize a Hydronic Furnace. It is very common that your hot water heater is right next to (or very close to) your funace anyways. And Pioneer is fully licensed and bonded to install and connect to the water supply that is very likely right there anyhow. Of course, if you are relocating the furnace, or for some other reason need significant plumbing changes, Pioneer is happy to coordinate with your licensed plumber to provide you the most cost-effective package for your needs.

• Matched component system designed specifically for use with a Rinnai tankless water heater
• Easy, flexible air handler installation requires no venting or gas lines
• Use of hot water for heat source means the air coming through your ducts is less dry than a typical gas furnace.
• Highly efficient! Up to 96.6 AFUE!
• Domestic hot water priority system: the integrated flow sensor talks to the control board to suspend furnace heating operation when your household is using heavy loads of hot water. This ensures you get an uninterrupted hot water supply in the shower, while also preventing the furnace from blowing cold air.
