TRUTANKLESS, DIVISION OF BOLLENTE COMPANIES INC.
How do your water heaters help residential
remodelers?
Trutankless revolutionizes water heating with
smart-home technology, energy efficiency and
long-term reliability. The smart whole-home elec-
tric tankless heater is designed to provide endless
hot water for today's modern home. Changes
to the National Appliance Energy Conservation
Act (NAECA) will require remodelers to rethink
water heating needs in 2015. Energy efficiency
requirements will make tank heaters larger, exac-
erbating space and budget constraints. With its
inherent efficiency and small footprint, trutankless offers a tremendous solution.
What's the next advancement in the water heater market?
With next year's NAECA regulatory changes, a big focus will be on energy efficiency.
Running at nearly 100 percent efficiency, trutankless already exceeds the new government
standards. Second to efficiency will be advances in home automation. Today's homeowner
wants to control everything on a smartphone and never worry about returning home
from vacation to a water heater leak. A self-aware water heater that can proactively notify
its owner of a service disruption — and schedule a service call — is the ultimate in low-
maintenance living. Circle 33 on card www.forresidentialpros.com/11746604

NORITZ AMERICA
How do your tankless water heater products help
residential remodelers?
The new EZTR40 helps give homeowners all of the ben-
efits of tankless (endless hot water, utility bill savings, lon-
ger life span, and space savings), but now remodelers can
replace a 40-gal., storage-tank-type water heater with the
EZTR in the same amount of time as putting in a new tank. This allows the contractor to do
the job and move on to the next project that much faster. With all of the new size changes
of tank water heaters coming up next year, the EZTR will give flexibility and assurance that
the remodeler will be able to provide hot water for his or her customers in any situation.
What's the next advancement in the tankless water heater market?
The water heater market is still predominantly comprised of the older, tank-type water
heaters. As we progress as a nation and become more energy-efficient — as well as aware
of new technology that can help save our natural resources — tanks will become a thing
of the past. Tankless manufacturers, especially Noritz, will continue to add components
that give homeowners the very best comfort available in water heating at a fair price, while
also making the installation process easier for the installers. Circle 32 on card www.for

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC
How do your HVAC products help
residential remodelers?
Ductless zoning systems are an ideal
supplemental system for remodeled spac-
es and great solutions for an entire home.
Homeowners can choose to condition the
guest room with a ductless system, or they
can choose to cool and heat each room in
their home at individualized temperatures.
With no required ductwork, the remodeler
can offer higher ceilings and reduced instal-
lation time. Plus there is little or no disrup-
tion to existing structures.
What's the next advancement in the
HVAC market?
Mitsubishi Electric recently introduced
the Hyper-Heating Inverter (H2i) MSZ-FH
single-zone system and H2i MXZ multi-
zone system for residential applications.
Patented H2i technology allows these
systems to operate at 100 percent heating
capacity in extremely cold weather condi-
tions. While it was previously thought that
cold climates and heat pump performance
couldn't go hand-in-hand, these systems
offer year-round, high-efficiency heating
and cooling anywhere in the country —
whether it's for a single room or an entire
home. Circle 31 on card www.forresiden
