Tankless Job
The LS Series line of high-output, high-efficiency tankless water heaters can be used for residential and commercial applications—a first in the industry, the company says.

Available in interior and exterior models, the unit offers a maximum of 199,000 BTUs and has a maximum output of 9.4 gallons of water per minute. Rinnai. 866-046-6241. www.foreverhotwater.com.
