Navien NPE-180S2 High-Efficiency Condensing Tankless Water Heater
The Navien NPE-180S2 is a high-efficiency condensing tankless water heater designed to provide dependable on-demand hot water for residential and commercial applications. With up to 150,000 BTU/h of heating input and flow rates of up to 8.4 GPM at a 35°F temperature rise, it offers efficient hot-water performance without requiring a conventional storage tank.
With a 0.96 Uniform Energy Factor, the NPE-180S2 uses advanced condensing technology to recover additional heat from combustion exhaust. This helps reduce wasted energy and fuel consumption compared with less-efficient water-heating systems. The unit is ENERGY STAR® certified and supports both natural gas and propane installations.
The NPE-180S2 heats water according to household demand, reducing the standby heat loss associated with conventional storage tanks. Its compact wall-mounted cabinet saves valuable floor space and supports indoor or outdoor installation when configured with the appropriate components.
Actual hot-water performance depends on incoming-water temperature, desired outlet temperature, water pressure and combined fixture demand. Professional sizing helps determine whether this model can meet the home’s expected hot-water requirements during colder Canadian conditions.

Decent experience overall. The water heater does its job, but delivery was delayed by a day due to scheduling.
Omar El-Sayed –
Jimmy HVAC handled the installation efficiently. Booking was easy, and the system was up and running the same day.

No major issues so far. The Navien unit performs well, though I wish the app interface was a bit more user-friendly.

Works well for our household of five. Setup took some time, but once running, hot water supply has been consistent.

Installation team was respectful and cleaned up after themselves. The price wasn’t the lowest, but the quality of work was good.

Switched from a tank system to the Navien Premium NPE-180S2. Gas usage seems lower already. Jimmy HVAC explained the process clearly.

Service was fast and straightforward. Installation was completed in one visit, though the paperwork took a bit longer than expected.
