Intellihot On-Demand Water Heaters

ON-DEMAND WATER HEATERS & IoT INNOVATIONS

Powered by Intellihot.
Intellihot is at home wherever people live, work or play. From wall-hung units that help restaurants, hotels and other businesses cut their energy bills to floor units robust enough for hotels, sky-rises, schools, stadiums, apartment buildings and hospitals – we’re committed to progress and helping to improve the way people live. We’re setting the benchmark for superior performance and efficiency. From the moment they start running, Intellihot water heating units begin to learn your facility’s typical usage patterns. Then they adapt, heating up the amount of water you need – no more, no less. – Improving your facility’s energy efficiency by up to 40%. We are building a waste-free future – without a drop of sacrifice.

We call that progress.
Our journey to create a better heating system began back in the winter of 2005, when a tank-type water heater broke down and flooded my basement. By combining the principles of a diesel engine’s robustness, robotics intelligence, and marine environment durability, we set out to design a unit from the ground up ¬that would outperform and outlast all others. Quickly, our goal grew from not just making a better water heater but creating an efficient and intelligent water heating and delivery system. Innovation is our hallmark and simplicity, efficiency, and durability are at the core of every lntellihot product. Our water heaters utilize the best attributes of tank and tankless – with intelligent logic and integrated recirculation. The result is a water heating system capable of handling the extreme loads of commercial applications with the preciseness needed for residential applications. Our products are proudly engineered and built in Galesburg, Illinois making lntellihot the first and only US-based manufacturer of gas-fired condensing tankless water heating systems. Over the past eight years, lntellihot has helped commercial customers throughout the nation save thousands of dollars while eliminating downtime. As we continue to expand our coverage across North America, we strive to provide you with the same unmatched performance advantages and savings. Our talented team of dedicated professionals is ready to assist you and help your business succeed.I thank you for considering our lntellihot products.
