How we built this
Each row is a representative commercial model of that size, as used in our 3D studio: footprint and height for layout, electric current at 120 V, gas input in BTU per hour, shipping weight, and a typical new price compiled from manufacturer spec sheets and published dealer and builder price lists.
Exact figures vary by brand and model. Use these to plan and compare; confirm the nameplate data of the exact unit you buy with your builder before the electrical, gas and weight are finalised.
