Woodbridge 11 GPM Condensing Gas Tankless Water Heater
Woodbridge 11 GPM Condensing Gas Tankless Water Heater Review
The Woodbridge 11 GPM Condensing Gas Tankless is the highest-capacity unit in Woodbridge's residential tankless line. 199,000 BTU output with 11 GPM rated capacity at a 35°F rise. Woodbridge is a direct-to-consumer brand competing with established names through online channels.
Specs: 199,000 BTU input, UEF 0.94 condensing, 11 GPM at a 35°F rise or 5.5 GPM at a 70°F rise, stainless steel heat exchanger, PVC venting up to 60 feet. WiFi connectivity for remote control. 12-year warranty on heat exchanger.
Hardware specs match established premium brands (Rinnai RU199iN, Navien NPE-240A) within engineering tolerances. The value proposition is price: about $1,400 unit versus $1,800-$2,400 for established competitors.
Trade-offs: smaller service network, parts handled through manufacturer customer service rather than dealer networks. About $1,400 unit, $3,200 installed.
Right buyer: DIY-savvy homeowners comfortable managing service support independently. Wrong buyer: homeowners wanting traditional dealer-network service from installers familiar with the brand.
