How to Choose an Eccotemp Tankless Water Heater

The most important decision variables are installation location (indoor vs. outdoor), fuel type (propane vs. natural gas), and required flow rate in GPM. For portable applications without a permanent gas line, the L5 Portable connects to a portable propane cylinder with no venting or permanent installation. For indoor whole-home propane, the SH22 (6.8 GPM) adds Wi-Fi control. For outdoor whole-home propane, the Builder Series Outdoor (6.8 GPM) is designed for exterior mounting. For indoor whole-home natural gas, the 20HI (6.0 GPM) is the natural gas option. Flow rate matching is critical: verify peak GPM demand against rated output at local incoming cold water temperature.
