New Bosch Greentherm C 950 ES Condensing Tankless Water Heater

The New Bosch Greentherm C 950 ES Condensing tankless water heater is a top performance, fully condensing gas tankless water heater from Bosch. This 175,000 BTU heater is designed for residential or commercial applications and can deliver hot water up to 140 degrees F with a 9.2 GPM flow rate.  Not approved for space heating applications.

This Energy Star approved tankless water heater can produce enough hot water for 2 major applications in most homes.  The Greentherm C 950 ES is now 93% energy efficient.

Unlike traditional non-condensing models, condensing technology captures heat from the exhaust gas and uses it to preheat the incoming cold water. This increases efficiency and reduces emissions -- well ahead of the 2012 Low NOX emissions standards set by SCAQMD (California -- South Coast Air Quality Management District).  The Greentherm C950ES now has NSF Certification (National Sanitation Foundation) for commercial kitchens.  The Bosch Green Therm C950ES now has an added bypass tube connecting the cold and hot water lines inside the unit so the heater can mix a little cold water with the hot to alleviate and fluctuations and maintan a more stable temperature.  Standard now also are three NTC temperature sensors. With a new sensor immediately after the HEX, the Greentherm achieves benchmark temperature control. The NTCs are no longer clipped on, but rather installed into the inlet and outlet pipes.

The Bosch Greentherm C 950 ES features an electronic ignition system and can vent through either 3 inch or 4 inch diameter PVC vent pipe either through the side wall or up through the roof.  The Greentherm C950ES now takes a new concentric venting system and attaches right to the top of the heater and takes its intake air and exhaust out through one hole to the outside.  The Greentherm C950ES can now be cascaded together with up to 4 units and they can all vent into one pipe using a special venting kit to the outside.  Installation can be done venting up to 4 units together into the one pipe having the heaters mounted side by side or back to back.  The combustion air for the units will need to be taken from the inside of the building.

The Bosch Greentherm C 950 ES comes with builtin freeze protection.  The Greentherm 950ES also comes with an external water filter screen.  The Bosch Greentherm C950ES does not come with a 3/4" pressure relief valve, this is an accessory that would have to be ordered seperately.

The freeze prevention kit is designed to provide protection for the water heater down to approximately 5°F for short term conditions only. It will not protect the appliance in areas where the temperature is routinely expected to be below freezing.  The freeze prevention kit will not protect plumbing outside the appliance from freezing.

The Bosch Greentherm C 950 ES comes with a limited 15 year warranty on the heat exchanger and 5 years on all other parts.  Service and labor costs are not covered.
