Intellihot Inc

Current tank water heaters in US homes run continuously and provide a limited amount of hot water. They are bulky, utilize less than 60% of gas energy burned and last only 7 years.

Intellihot has developed a state-of-the art demand water heater that uses conventional materials and advanced electronics. This green water heater extracts nearly 98% of energy, provides unlimited hot water, and will comfortably fit within a kitchen cabinet.

Coupled with Intellihot’s extremely low installation cost and 20-year life, this product will revolutionize the water heating market and establish Intellihot as the market leader.
