Takagi said the company is celebrating its 15-year anniversary in the U.S. this month. Much has changed over those past 15 years, especially on the water heater front. 
   “The one thing that has not changed over the years, and that we’re extremely proud of, is our steadfast commitment to quality, efficiency and safety,” says Koji Matsumura, Takagi’s general manager. “If anything, that’s the secret to our continued success. We always strive to give our customers the best, to anticipate and meet their needs, and to make life easier for them. Its evident in the products we make, the services we provide, and the relationship we try to build with all of our customers.”

   To mark its 15th anniversary, Takagi is also gearing up to introduce the newest addition to its line of commercial tankless water heaters, the T-H2. Takagi’s new unit is a high efficiency condensing model with an estimated thermal efficiency of 92 percent. The unit will help reduce installation costs because it will utilize PVC venting instead of stainless steel. The T-H2 will become available sometime in October, along with an Outdoor model for warmer climates.

   In celebration of the anniversary and to honor the many contractors who have been instrumental in their success over the past 15 years, the company said it would also offer a special anniversary rebate to contractors for every unit they purchase on behalf of their customers through the end of September. Rebates range from $40 on up to $100 per unit, depending on the size of the Takagi tankless water heater.
