The new vehicle features a live-fire commercial tankless water heater, in addition to other Intellihot units that can be disassembled for in-depth, hands-on training.

The 17,000-square-foot office, at 750 Bunker Court in Vernon Hills, just 45 minutes from O’Hare, will house the company’s sales, marketing, research and development, and finance departments.

Compact and lightweight floor-standing water heaters are more than 8 inches slimmer than a typical tank and fit in the narrowest of spaces including standard doorways and elevators.
