Takagi Tankless Water Heater Overview

The first Takagi tankless water heater was manufactured over 50 years ago in 1952. Since that time, the company has been successfully servicing the Japanese market with their innovative tankless products.

After 45 years of fine tuning their tankless water heater line and expanding their product base, Takagi entered the North American market in 1995 as the first tankless water heater company to specialize in tankless-only products.

The company's commitment to quality and advancements in tankless technology is evident in their product lines. They were the first to offer a tankless product with a thermal efficiency rating of up to 95%, the first in offering a convertible direct vent model, and the first in using an air-fuel ratio rod for enhanced safety.

In-house manufacturing helps them maintain control over quality and durability and they pride themselves on each unit being built tough to ensure that their residential, commercial and institutional customers are never without hot water.

By 2007, they became an official ENERGY STAR partner as a result of their high-efficiency tankless units which met the strict energy efficiency guidelines of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy. The company is also ISO 14001 certified which requires them to meet strict environmental impact standards.

According to their website, Takagi tankless hot water heaters are made up of 95% or more recyclable materials and will...

• be 82% - 95% energy efficient
• use less energy with a 20% - 50% estimated energy savings
• meet the low NOx standards of the South Coast Air Quality Management District

Takagi has regional offices in California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Texas, and global offices in Canada and Japan.
