Hi Dufour,
I'm really sorry to hear about your experience with your equipment. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our business so your feedback is always valuable to us.
In regards to your high water bill and issue, this could be an existing plumbing issue. It is possible your tankless system is too far away from your kitchen/bathroom but there is a remedy for this: You can have a plumber install a recirculation pipe. The science of tankless systems is something that is proven and it is designed for efficiency and cost savings. I highly suggest you consult a plumber as it is most likely that your problem is related to the plumbing in your home.
On our side, we will consult the manufacturer for more information. Those units are 95% efficient and as installers we are not involved in the product design and go with the design specs that Rheem markets on their product. As installers we go with the manufacturers rating, guidelines and their best practices for installation. I am really sorry to hear about your experience, please do not hesitate to give us a call to tell us more if we can assist in anyway. You can call our head office: 416-213-0303. Please ask for our technical manager, Shams.
