American Hometec’s Coilless Technology takes tankless to new level

BY DAVE MILLILO

Tankless water heaters have been popular in Europe for decades and are now gaining more and more interest in the U.S. due to their energy and water conserving qualities. But, not all tankless water heaters are created equal. American Hometec, a new manufacturer of tankless water heaters, uses a patented Coilless Technologyâ for electric tankless water heaters. The company’s innovative Coilless Technology takes water heaters to the next level as it heats water in a different way — indirectly through unique heat transfer for increased efficiency and water conservation.

Other electric heaters on the market immerse coils directly in the water in order to heat it, causing heat spots, which produce build-up of lime scale and a decrease in heating efficiency. Because there are no coils with American Hometec’s new technology, the electric components are never in direct contact with the water being heated, preventing accumulation of lime scale inside the unit and increasing longevity of the unit. With Coilless Technology, you can be confident that the heating element won’t break down due to lime scaling buildup, relay switches won’t malfunction and there won’t be corrosive water damage.
Coilless Technology is the most advanced tankless water heating technology available today and it makes American Hometec a pioneer in the industry. The new technology maintains efficiency at the design level of 95 to 99 percent throughout equipment lifetime, it’s free of lime scaling issues and suitable for all water conditions. In addition, American Hometec backs its units with a 15-year lifetime limited warranty on the coilless heating element.

American Hometec has brought something that is brand new to the market and has changed the game in water heating. Combining the benefits of hot water on demand with a this new, long-lasting technology, tankless water heaters that feature our patented Coilless Technology are the next generation in the industry.

American Hometec is in the process of introducing a complete family of tankless water heaters ranging from low-flow single use units to higher capacity units suitable for both residential and commercial applications. All of the company’s electric tankless water heaters will feature the patented Coilless Technology. All units are designed to be compact in size and modern-looking for installation in almost any dwelling space, saving valuable floor space in commercial buildings, single-family homes, condominiums, schools and apartments.

Earlier this year, the company introduced its AHQ-C10 electric tankless water heater for low flow multi-lavatory and single use applications such as: sinks in lavatories, restaurants, schools, labs and hotels. Unique to the C10, three capacity settings — 4.2, 6.4 and 8.5 kW — are available within one unit, which means the C10 unit can handle multiple needs by acting as three units in one. This exclusive design therefore reduces inventory cost, saves space and provides a great deal of convenience to both distributors and contractors.

The next unit to be introduced to American Hometec’s series of units will be the AHQ-T16, an electric tankless water heater for mid-range hot water demands such as the average-sized bathroom. The unit will provide the versatility to heat a sink and shower simultaneously, and will offer a continuous, precise temperature-controlled hot water supply. The new unit will also feature a sleek design, modern blue LED smooth touchÔ temperature control panel and an easy-clean surface that is unsusceptible to damage from dirt or moisture.

American Hometec’s tankless water heaters are available to plumbing supply and hvac wholesalers. For more information about the company, its products and Coilless Technology, visit www.AmericanHometec.com.
