Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for wireless cascading water heater systems. The wireless cascading water heater system may include several water heaters that may include one or more of a tankless water heater, a boiler, or a combination boiler, for example. One or more of the water heaters may communicate with a remote controller and/or a user device. The water heaters may further be in wireless communication with one another. One water heater may be designated the lead water heater and a second water heater may be designated the backup water heater. The lead water heater may oversee operation of the follower water heaters in response to a hot water demand. A hierarchical order may be determined for selecting which water heaters will respond to hot water demand and in what order. The hierarchical order may be based on the age of the water heater, burn time for the water heater for optimization and efficiency purposes.
