To ensure the ENERGYSAVER operates as designed, an industry standard Btu heat loss
calculation must be performed on the area to be heated.
This calculation considers all factors that contribute to heat loss such as:
Area and volume of the space to be heated
Geographical location and climate where the furnace will be located
Structural characteristics of the building such as number of windows, exterior doors,
construction material, etc
ENERGYSAVER® Sizing
The Air Conditioning Contractors’ Association (ACCA) has an
industry standard Btu calculation in their “Manual J” publication.
A qualified and licensed installer should be familiar with this type
of calculation.

Rinnai also offers a basic DV sizing calculator at

NOTE: Incorrectly sized applications can lead to the ENERGYSAVER short-
cycling or failing to bring the area to the desired set point temperature.
