  • Caleffi. The SRCCcertified Solarie Solar Heat Pump is an allinone collector and storage tank system that eliminates the need for a separate backup water heater. Using demineralized water instead of refrigerant liquid as a heat exchanger it pumps the water to its rooftop collectors only when sunlight is available then drains the water to the holding tank during sunless periods. This prevents the system from freezing or overheating even during power failures. When needed water is heated automatically by a backup electric element or gas burner built into the tank. 414.238.2360. www.caleffi.us.

  • American Hometec. The C10 electric tankless water heater features coil-less technology, which heats water indirectly with quartz tubes; because electric components are not in direct contact with the water, lime-scale buildup is eliminated, says the company, increasing durability and helping to maintain a 95% to 99% efficiency. Three capacity settings provide adjustable power consumption; it has a rise of 0.4 to 1.3 gpm. The C10 is the first in a line of coil-less electric and Energy Starcertified gas models. 877.662.6457. www.americanhometec.com.
