Can You Put A Tankless Water Heater Outside

I was told by a plumber he could remove the traditional water heater and put a tankless water heater outside.

Can you put a tankless water heater outside.

An indoor tankless water heater is installed inside your home. Avoid installing it in locations that may subject it to freezing. Thus it would open up that 2 5 x 2 5 space for more room. This is to protect it from splashed water rain insects direct sunlight and debris.

Tankless water heaters should not be installed near dryer vents or intake air vents. Gas tankless water heaters don t have to use indoor air for combustion. Tankless water heater vent clearances if the unit is vented to the outside then it needs 12 inches of clearance from a door or window. Power vent units use indoor air for combustion and simply vent the exhaust to the outside.

Frozen water inside your tankless water heater may cause severe and permanent damage. If you live in a climate where temperatures drop below freezing you must always be sure to take precautions to avoid freeze damage such as draining the unit. So regardless of the type of tankless water heater you have you ll be out of hot water in the event of a power outage. Do not install under water pipes or air conditioning lines that might leak or condense moisture that could then drip onto the heater.

If the window does not open the tankless water heater clearance from a window requires a 12 inch setback. You should avoid installing your tankless water heater in a location prone to excessive humidity moisture or dust or in an area where it may be splashed with water or other liquids. Just make sure you choose the correct installation option before finalizing your purchase. My question is rather than paying 1k for a tankless water heater is it safe to just move the traditional water heater i have to the outside but enclosed in a wooden shed.

Tankless water heaters can be vented in two ways. Tankless water heaters can increase convenience and save you money simultaneously. Some tankless water heaters can be somewhat noisy. In case you install it outside get a suitable enclosure.

If you re sensitive to sounds then an outdoor unit makes more sense to use. Direct vent units pull in air from outside the house so they have two vents for intake and exhaust.
