Overview
Noritz builds this EZ Series Pro unit as a wall mounted tankless heater that fires a premix burner through two stainless steel heat exchangers. Its water connections sit on top, so the flexible lines from an old tank heater can often be reused.
Top mounted connections and a large burner make it a practical tank replacement for homes with several bathrooms. Bluetooth helps with setup and diagnostics, but installation still involves gas sizing, venting and code compliance.
Who it's for
Families running several fixtures at once will use the high flow and output. Homes without a suitable gas line or venting path should look at electric options.
Pros and cons
- Top connections ease tank swaps
- High flow for several fixtures
- Dual stainless heat exchangers
- Field conversion kit for LP
- Needs professional gas and vent work
- Heavy for wall mounting
- Short labor warranty
Performance notes
Hot water output depends on the incoming water temperature and the burner's ability to raise it at the flow drawn. A low minimum burner input reduces temperature swings at small draws. Dual stainless heat exchangers resist scale, though hard water still calls for periodic flushing.
