PVI, Lync, and AERCO, all Watts brands, will showcase commercial water heating solutions at the 2026 ASPE Convention & Expo in Oklahoma City. Visitors can explore the brands’ latest gas-fired, electric, and heat pump technologies in the Watts Booth (#1015) during the exposition, Oct. 12-13.

Products on display will include AERCO’s Innovation 1600 and 2000 commercial water heaters, PVI’s Conquest and Durawatt Mini water heaters, and Lync Aegis W heat pump and Bolt Mini water heaters. Together, these solutions demonstrate the breadth of the Watts Applied Solutions portfolio and provide engineers, contractors, and facility managers with multiple pathways to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and support long-term decarbonization goals.

Advanced Technology Drives High-efficiency Water Heaters

As organizations pursue sustainability initiatives, the transition to lower-carbon water heating systems will vary based on building type, infrastructure, budget, and operational requirements. Some projects are well suited for fully electric or heat pump-based systems, while others continue to rely on high-efficiency gas-fired equipment or hybrid designs. By offering complementary technologies across multiple energy sources, AERCO, Lync, and PVI help engineers develop practical water heating strategies tailored to each facility's unique needs.

High-Efficiency Gas-Fired Water Heating

AERCO will display its Innovation 1600 and 2000 commercial condensing water heaters. The newest additions to the Innovation family deliver up to 99% thermal efficiency, precise temperature control, and advanced controls in a compact footprint designed for demanding commercial applications.

PVI will feature the Conquest gas-fired condensing water heater. Available in a wide range of capacities and constructed from durable AquaPLEX duplex stainless steel, Conquest provides a reliable, high-efficiency solution for commercial domestic hot water systems.

Electric and Heat Pump Solutions for Electrification

Lync will showcase the Aegis W CO₂ heat pump water heater, an efficient electric solution that uses R744, a natural refrigerant, to support building electrification and lower-carbon domestic hot water production.

Also on display will be the Bolt Mini electric water heater, a compact, wall-mountable solution that can serve as a primary, recirculation, booster, or backup water heater. Bolt Mini can also complement Aegis heat pump systems, providing flexibility for a wide range of electrified water heating applications.

PVI's Durawatt Mini rounds out the electrification portfolio. Designed for primary, booster, backup, and recirculation heating applications, the compact electric water heater provides installation flexibility and long-term durability through its AquaPLEX duplex stainless steel construction.

A Broad Portfolio for Modern Building Challenges

By bringing these technologies together at ASPE Expo 2026, Watts Applied Solutions will demonstrate how gas-fired, electric, and heat pump water heating solutions can help address evolving building requirements while balancing efficiency, sustainability, reliability, and performance. Whether supporting new construction, retrofit projects, or phased decarbonization initiatives, the portfolio offers engineers and facility teams flexibility in how they approach domestic hot water system design.

The Watts booth will also feature solutions from across the broader Watts family of brands. Organized around commercial, institutional, data center, and industrial applications, the exhibit highlights Watts' comprehensive water management expertise and ability to support integrated building systems.
