Today we completed the installation of a Navien NPE-240 tankless water heater in San Jose, California. As part of the project, the existing external Grundfos recirculation pump was preserved and successfully integrated into the new system.
The old A. O. Smith 75-gallon tank water heater was fully removed and decommissioned. It was replaced with a modern Navien tankless unit that provides improved energy efficiency, continuous hot water supply, and a significantly reduced footprint.
