The showroom operated by NORITZ America in Bensenville, IL, recently hosted a tour and discussion for editors representing Supply House Times, Plumbing & Mechanical and pme (PM Engineer). Bob Hitchner, senior vice president – sales, marketing and business development, and Jason Corey, regional sales manager – Midwest, for NORITZ America, led a discussion about tankless water heaters and NORITZ America.

Here are a few of the points made:

• Think of a tankless water heater as providing endless hot water as opposed to instant hot water.
  
  
• The commercial sector has created substantial growth for tankless water heaters.
  
  
• Retrofits - converting from a tank water heater to a tankless model - are driving growth.
  
  
• NORITZ America sells only through wholesalers and does not sell through do-it-yourself or big-box stores.
  
  
• The company offers training for contractors through “NORITZ University.”
  
  
• There is a broader trend of innovation with solar.
