The Titan N-120 is recommended for many applications but can you live in the north and use just one N-120 unit? The answer is yes but there are many things to consider before you go to a dual parallel installation or a larger size unit.

Your incoming water temperature is the most important factor. Many northern states have acceptable incoming water temperatures to support an N-120 unit. Please go to our CAN'T DECIDE page to help decide what unit is right for you.

The water flow of your various applications such as your shower, washer and faucets is important in your decision process. We always recommend an energy efficient shower head that puts out about 1.5 GPM (gallons per minute). If your incoming water were 48 degrees F (very cold) you would have shower water of about 114 degrees which is very hot. The average shower is 102-105 degrees F.  Keep in mind an efficient shower head will give you just as good a shower, and get you just as wet as the old wasteful style shower head.

An alternative to purchasing a larger, more powerful Titan unit is installing two N-120 units together. The advantage of having the Titan in parallel is that one unit can be turned off during summer months or if one malfunctions (rare) you still have one unit providing endless hot water and saving you money.
