The tankless water heater rental program
An endless supply of hot water, with endless benefits for homeowners and utilities.
In Europe and Japan, millions of people already enjoy the endless supply of hot water provided by on-demand, tankless water heaters.
These tankless units don’t just save space – they also save a significant amount of energy.
That’s because, in contrast to a traditional gas water heater which must keep 40 or 50 gallons constantly heated to 120° or higher, a tankless water heater uses gas to heat the water as it is needed.
With a tankless water heater, the homeowner gets an endless supply of hot water at a much lower cost, helping customers save approximately 30% of their gas energy water heating bill. The savings add up quickly, given that water heating accounts for the largest share of home energy use after heating and cooling.
This combination of saving money and saving energy makes tankless systems increasingly popular. However, many homeowners balk at the up-front installation charge, which can cost up to $3,000.
USP has designed a solution to this common problem, with the USP Tankless Water Heater lease program. Through this program, the homeowner gets an energy-efficient tankless water heater installed with no up-front costs. Instead, they pay a monthly rental fee, which is typically $45 - $50 per month.
This fee includes installation by a USP authorized contractor, repairs, and replacement of the unit if needed. USP also sends a technician to the customer’s home once a year to flush out the system, which helps ensure maximum performance. This annual service (which many homeowners typically neglect to do) is included at no extra cost to the customer, and provides additional peace of mind.
USP leases tankless water heaters manufactured by Rinnai - the #1 tankless water heater brand in the U.S. market, and the #1 product for four consecutive years in Builder Magazine’s “Favorite 50.” Of course, we also help our utility partners with everything from customer service and claims administration, to marketing the tankless units.
