Eemax tankless water heaters heat your water faster, heat your water with more precision, and heat your water safer

Every home is unique and so are everyone’s hot water needs. The US Dept of Energy says that direct-fired residential tank storage heaters are among the highest energy-consuming appliances in the home. Only heating and air conditioning systems consume more energy. In addition to that, a typical tank water heater requires up to 9 sq ft of space. A tank style hot water heater keeps water hot 24 hours a day, whether it is needed or not. But the tankless water heaters produce hot water only when needed, reducing needless energy consumption and therefore cutting water heating costs by up to 50%. That is why upgrading to a modern system with advanced design and engineering to save space in your home, reduce your utility bills and conserve the Earth’s resources and is a necessity. The system of tankless hot water heating has been gaining acceptance in Europe & Asia for a while. With today’s rising energy costs, a whole home tankless system by Eemax is a smart choice for a wealth of reasons.

Trailing the growth pattern

Established in 1988 with a line of tankless water heaters for commercial applications ranging in size from 0.5gpm to about 1.5gpm, Eemax products have come a long way in the hot water heating techniques. The first product was 9.5 kW Flow Control, an on/off device for hand washing applications, it expanded the market for electric tankless heaters by the early 1990s and launched the Eemax brand. And the exciting factor is that the primary products, Hand washing heater SP3512, and EX95, are both still in production today. Tankless hot water heating, which gained widespread acceptance in Europe, has paved the way to the company’s success in the US.

In 2008, Eemax was purchased by the private equity firm Riverside. Giving it the capability to expand its product breadth and hold in the marketplace. The company developed the AccuMix electric tankless water heater in the year 2011. The product was designed as a Turnkey Solution heater with a code compliant integrated mixing valve designed specifically to meet Uniform Plumbing Code 407.3 requirements for hand washing single and multi-lav applications. 2012 was the year of breakthrough for the company as it has expanded and has shifted its workplace to Waterbury, CT. The 56,000 square foot manufacturing, warehouse, and training facility, Connecticut is an excellent place to manufacture high-quality technical content product and has definitely helped Eemax to expand its production to a large extent.

Along with launching ground breaking new technology in the SafeAdvantage and SpecAdvantage product lines, the company merged with the retail manufacture Ecosmart in 2013. In December 2015, Eemax was acquired by Rheem, a privately held manufacturer that produces residential and commercial water heaters, HVAC equipment, boilers and work collaboratively with them in developing new products to expand into new markets and regions.
