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.
