Noritz NRC1111-DV-LP Indoor Condensing Tankless Water Heater (Propane)
Noritz NRC1111-DV-LP Indoor Condensing Tankless Water Heater (Propane) Review
The Noritz NRC1111-DV-LP is a propane variant of Noritz's NRC condensing tankless line. "NRC" identifies the residential condensing series; "1111" reflects ~199K BTU output; "DV" identifies direct vent; "LP" indicates liquid propane fuel.
Specs: 199,000 BTU propane input, UEF 0.94 condensing, 11.1 GPM at a 35°F rise, dual stainless heat exchanger. PVC condensing venting. 12-year warranty on heat exchanger, 5-year on parts.
The propane variant adds typical $200-$400 premium over the natural gas equivalent. Noritz's positioning emphasizes commercial-grade durability for residential applications.
About $2,400 unit, $4,200 installed for propane retrofit including propane regulator upsizing if needed. Right buyer: rural propane home wanting Noritz engineering, particularly in regions with established Noritz dealer presence (smaller US service network than Rinnai/Navien).
