The Takagi Heater

Filed Under Takagi 

A Takagi heater can be a good choice for a tankless hot water heater. Four of their residential models qualify for the Energy Star designation of the US Department of Energy and thus also for the US federal income tax credit of up to 30% of your cost -- that is not only a percentage of what you pay for a Takagi heater but also the cost of the installation.

To me, when a company has several of their product line meeting Energy Star standards, it warrants my attention. The models that qualify are the ones I will describe here. Some of their older models don't qualify but may be good choices too, if their energy efficiency isn't much less. (I saw a lot of favorable comments online from owners of the older T-K2.)

  • TAKAGI T-K3: This small unit weighs 40 pounds and is 13.8 inches wide so it can fit between studs. It starts heating water at .5 GPM (gallons per minute), and it comes with eight temperature settings from 104 degrees F all the way up to 185.
  • TAKAGI T-K3-OS: This is the outdoor variation of the T-K3, suitable for warmer climates.
  • TAKIGI T-K3-SP: this unit is for smaller residential situations.
  • TAKIGI T-H1: The T-H1 is extremely energy efficient, and is meant for large houses.

Installation of a Takagi Heater

An employee of Takagi demonstrates how to install a Takagi heater. Since installation is so crucial to customer satisfaction with any tankless water heater, this is a good thing to explain.
