Cons
Not for big homes- 6.6 GPM at 45+ degree F, so if are thinking of serving a house with 6-10 than it is not suitable for it.
Solution- 6.6 GPM at 45+ degree F is not bad.We calculate the GPM to find out the maximum capacity a water heater can handle at a time. In general, a showerhead can maximum have 2.5 GPM. So whether it is a one man’s home or many if no more than two showerheads is busy, your heater will not let you down. So 2-3 bathroom houses can use this one.
Installation expensive- Warranty will be void if you install it yourself. Again paying for a plumber who is certified by Takagi group is hard and costly.
Solution
That is true, but Takagi did not make it impossible for you to do it on your own. Manuals are detailed and easy to understand. So if you are trading off between future unseen repair cost with professional installation cost and ready to give up warranty you have the right resources within reach.
