Benefits of the Navien NPE-S2
The NPE-S2 combines high heating capacity, efficient operation, and durable internal components in a compact system.
Homeowners benefit from:
- Continuous hot water from a properly sized system
- Up to 199,900 BTU per hour of heating input
- A 0.96 Uniform Energy Factor
- Up to 5.8 gallons per minute at a 67°F temperature rise
- Dual stainless steel heat exchangers
- Compact, wall-mounted installation
- Indoor or outdoor installation options
- Easy-to-read EZNav™ controls
- Natural gas operation with propane conversion available
- ENERGY STAR® certification
- Low-NOx operation
Actual hot water output depends on incoming water temperature, the temperature setting, and how many fixtures are operating at the same time.

Continuous Hot Water for Everyday Household Use
The NPE-S2 heats water when you turn on a faucet or appliance. You can take consecutive showers, run the dishwasher, and complete other daily tasks without using up a tank of stored hot water.
Every tankless water heater has a maximum flow capacity. Logan Services will consider how many fixtures your household uses at once to make sure the system is properly sized.
High-Efficiency Condensing Technology
Traditional water heaters repeatedly heat stored water, even when no one is using it. The NPE-S2 heats water on demand and uses condensing technology to capture heat that would otherwise escape through the exhaust.
Its 0.96 Uniform Energy Factor means most of the fuel it uses becomes usable hot water. This efficient operation can reduce water-heating energy use compared with older tank-style systems.
Compact, Wall-Mounted Design
At approximately 17 inches wide and 27 inches tall, the NPE-S2 mounts to a wall instead of sitting on the floor. Replacing a bulky tank can create more usable space in a basement, utility room, garage, or mechanical area.
Indoor and outdoor installation options provide additional flexibility when permitted by the home’s layout and local requirements.

Durable Dual Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers
The NPE-S2 provides up to 199,900 BTU per hour and up to 5.8 gallons per minute at a 67°F temperature rise, with dual stainless steel heat exchangers that support corrosion-resistant, dependable performance.
Because Ohio groundwater can be colder in winter and mineral buildup can affect performance, professional sizing and routine maintenance are important for reliable year-round operation.
Control Your Water Temperature With Ease
The backlit EZNav™ control panel uses clear text and icons instead of complicated codes. It displays the water temperature, current flow rate, operating status, and diagnostic information.
Built-in self-diagnostics also help trained plumbers identify problems during service.

Is the Navien NPE-S2 Right for Your Home?
The NPE-S2 may fit your home if you want continuous hot water, lower standby energy loss, and a compact system without built-in recirculation. It can replace many traditional tank water heaters when the property has suitable gas service, venting, condensate drainage, electrical power, and plumbing.
A Logan Services plumber will inspect these requirements and recommend any necessary installation updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the NPE-S2 Run Out of Hot Water?
The NPE-S2 does not run out of stored hot water because it heats water on demand. Hot water remains available as long as the household’s total demand stays within the unit’s flow capacity.
How Many Fixtures Can the NPE-S2 Supply at Once?
The number depends on each fixture’s flow rate and the required temperature rise. Logan Services will calculate your household’s peak demand instead of relying on a general fixture count.
Does the NPE-S2 Provide Instant Hot Water?
The system begins heating water when it detects flow, but hot water must still travel through the pipes to the fixture. The NPE-S2 does not include a built-in recirculation pump to shorten that wait.
Can It Replace My Current Tank Water Heater?
Yes, when the home can support the system’s gas, venting, electrical, drainage, and plumbing requirements. An in-home evaluation will identify whether updates are needed.
What Maintenance Does It Need?
Regular maintenance includes inspecting the system, cleaning its filters, checking the venting and condensate drain, and flushing mineral buildup from the heat exchangers. Service needs depend partly on local water quality and household use.
