Let’s dive right in!

What Are the Noritz EZ Series PRO Tankless Water Heaters?

Noritz debuted their EZ Series PRO tankless water heaters in November 2024 with some new features and improvements from the previous generation of the Noritz EZ tankless water heaters. 

The Nortiz Series PRO is available in three different water heaters and two bundles. The major highlights of the new Noritz units include the following:

• Bluetooth connectivity: To connect to your Noritz EZ Series Pro unit, you need to download the EZ Start Plus Bluetooth App. You then must stand within three feet of it, and then you can set the water temperature to your liking. The connectivity also allows technicians to install the tankless unit faster, register it for warranty, and send diagnostic reports to Noritz technical support during service. 
• Built-in remote: Previous models of Noritz tankless water heaters required a separate remote device to control some of the units’ features. The Noritz EZ Series PRO includes a built-in remote, making it easier for technicians to perform service. 
• Versatile venting: As a homeowner, you may not consider the ventilation requirements of a tankless water heater that is compatible with your home. The new Noritz tankless water heaters make it so that they’re flexible with venting and can be installed indoors or outdoors.
• Latched front cover: Your tankless water heater’s technician will have an easier time removing and putting back the latch cover thanks to two new snap latches at the top. 
• Natural gas to liquid propane: Your home most likely uses natural gas, but if it were to use liquid propane, the new Noritz tankless water heaters have a conversion kit to adjust from gas to propane and vice versa. 
• Top-mounted water connections: Continued from their previous models, the Noritz EZ Series PRO has top-mounted water connections that make it easy to swap from a tank to a tankless water heater. 
• 25-year warranty: The EZ Series PRO tankless water heaters come with Noritz’s industry-leading 25-year warranty on the dual heat exchangers. 

These features make the Noritz EZ Series PRO tankless water heaters stand out from other units from different brands. But how well does its energy efficiency rating hold up? 

What Is the Efficiency Rating of the Noritz EZ Series PRO Tankless Water Heaters?

All the tankless water heaters in the Noritz EZ Series PRO have an industry-leading .98 Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) rating for energy efficiency. This means that for every dollar spent on energy consumption, 98 cents is used, leading to long-term energy savings. 

The UEF rating is the standard measurement for testing a water heater’s energy efficiency. The EZ Series PRO tankless water heater’s .98 rating is an improvement from the previous generation’s .96 rating, which was already considered energy efficient. 

Now that we’ve covered all the new bells and whistles of the EZ Series PRO tankless water heaters let’s take a closer look at each unit in the series. 

Noritz EZ71DV

The Noritz EZ71DV tankless water heater is a new model introduced in the EZ Series PRO. It has a hot water capacity range of 0.4 to 9.0 gallons per minute (GPM), suitable for homes with two to two and a half bathrooms with three to four occupants.

Homeowners with this unit can control the set temperature from 100 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit using the Noritz app Bluetooth connectivity.

Noritz EZ98DV

The next model in the Noritz lineup is the EZ98DV tankless water heater. With a hot water capacity of 0.4 to 9.8 GPM, this unit is meant for homes with a higher demand for hot water.

Noritz EZ111DV

The Noritz EZ111DV tankless water heater is designed for homes with more than three restrooms and high demand for hot water. Its hot water capacity is 0.4 to 11.1 GPMs. 

All three of these tankless water heaters are lighter than the previous generation, making it easier for a technician to carry and install.

There are two bundles to choose from.
