Indirect Water Heaters

Indirect water heaters use your home's existing HVAC system (e.g., Boiler or furnace) to heat water that is stored in a tank and distributed when needed.

Natural gas tankless water heaters heat water as it is needed and for as long as you need it, helping to save 25%-50% in water heating costs over a standard tank-type heater. These water heaters don’t have a tank, so they are less susceptible to leaks and they have a more compact design.
