in an independent study three years in a row is a testament of our dedication
to professionals and the plumbing and heating trade. We make the highest
quality and most reliable water heaters right here in the U.S., and we sell them only to
professional contractors through wholesale distribution. It gives the entire
industry a leg up in an era of oversees manufacturing and big volume retail,”
