Intellihot iE1 Tankless Heat Pump Water Heater

Thank you for purchasing this Intellihot unit.
This unit is designed for years of trouble free operation, and I urge you to read and follow the instructions in this “Operation & Installation Manual.”
Our mission to create a better heating system began back in the winter of 2005 when a tank 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 intelligent water heating and delivery system. Innovation is our hallmark and simplicity, efficiency, and durability are at the core of every lntellihot product.
Our products are proudly engineered and built in Galesburg, Illinois. lntellihot has helped commercial customers throughout the nation save thousands of dollars while eliminating downtime. Our talented team of dedicated professionals is ready to assist you and help your business succeed.
I thank you for purchasing our lntellihot products.

  • Sincerely,
  • Sri Deivasigamani
