I need to replace a water heater that is located in my basement. It is currently an atmospheric vented tank unit. We are preparing a remodel of our home which will include improvements to the home envelope (sealing and insulation). Therefore, I want to go with a sealed combustion heater so I don't have to pull in makeup air elsewhere. Additionally, I would like to eliminate the flue chase (HVAC is already high efficiency).
Any thoughts on condensing vs non-condensing? Any opinions on the following makes/models?
Rheem RHE50 - High efficiency condensing
