Navien is introducing their next generation combi-boiler, the NCB-E. Navien’s NCB series is unique in that, as one unit, it is capable of providing a whole house heating system while also providing the domestic hot water output of a stand-alone tankless water heater. Now available in 4 sizes: NCB-150E, NCB-180E, NCB-210E, NCB-240E. The NCB-E will be a rolling replacement, now with a Grundfos pump, an integral air vent, a PRV top connection, a quieter fan and a new front cover bevel design.
Navien Introduces NaviLink™ for Wi-Fi Remote Control
Navien announced the introduction of remote access for all Navien tankless water heaters (NPE series), combi-boilers (NCB-E series) and gas condensing boilers (NHB series) through the new NaviLink Wi-Fi control and mobile application.
Now, smart phone and tablet owners will be able to control temperatures remotely, access usage data, receive diagnostic notifications, and remotely activate recirculation on the NPE-A series tankless water heaters.
NaviLink will be able to report and monitor diagnostic data through the companion app along with error code notification. NaviLink is capable of reporting the following information for added comfort and peace of mind: DHW and Space Heating set temperatures, Current DHW Temperature, DHW Flow Rates, Inlet Water Temperature, Total DHW Consumption, Average Firing Rate, Cumulative Gas Consumption, And On Demand activation tracking.
With the integration of NaviLink Wi-Fi connectivity a whole new level of control and comfort can be achieved with Navien’s products never before seen in our industry. Navien continues to lead the way in innovation for the plumbing industry that consumers and installers have come to expect from the leader in condensing technology.
NaviLink for NPE-A series tankless water heaters will allow robust control of the recirculation pump and system. As you have come to expect, Navien has engineered NaviLink to allow more control and fine tuning of the recirculation system when paired with the Navien HotButton on demand control system. When NaviLink and HotButton are combined consumers will have a level of comfort and control never seen before in the water heating market. Contractors will be able to fine tune recirculation operation by day and hour, something previously unavailable in the water heating and plumbing market.
“Navien’s NaviLink Wi-Fi control system will bring an unseen and unprecedented level of control and comfort to the plumbing industry. By continuing our innovative approach to product development in the water heating and boiler markets we are able to provide consumers with the most comfortable experience possible,” said Eric Ashley, Product Marketing Supervisor.
The new NaviLink module, which can be bundled with any new or existing NPE series tankless water heater, NCB combi-boiler, and NHB boiler, attaches easily to the series listed above by using a cascade style quick connect cable allowing the NaviLink to connect to your local Wi-Fi network. Once connected and the free Navien application is downloaded and activated, users will have complete access to control their tankless, combi-boiler, and boiler systems from a smartphone or tablet allowing users to turn the system on and off, change the water temperature, monitor status, activate the recirculation system and schedule pump operation by day and hour an industry first. Available for shipment in March.
