American Hometec Reveals Ugliest Water Heater in America

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Just in time for the upcoming holiday season and the increased need for a continuous supply of hot water, American Hometec Inc., the pioneer and leader of Coilless Technology^® for tankless water heaters, announces the winner of a new AHQ-T16 (T16) tankless water heater from its recent “Ugly Water Heater” contest.

“This tankless water heater saves time, energy and water, and also features a stunning and modern look that people are proud to showcase in their homes.”

To celebrate the expected increase in home improvement spending and the impending holiday season, American Hometec hosted an Ugly Water Heater contest where consumers were invited to submit photos of out-of-date water heaters for a chance to win a new, sleek, energy-efficient T16 tankless unit from the company. Entries piled in from contestants across 20 states for a chance to win one of the most advanced tankless water heaters on the market.

American Hometec is proud to announce that Christopher Wunsch from Wausau, Wis. is the winner of its Ugly Water Heater contest. Wunsch has a 25-year-old storage tank water heater in his Wisconsin cabin that has presented maintenance challenges for his family over the years. Although Wunsch blows out the lines to his water heater every winter before he closes the cabin for the season, he often finds frozen, broken water lines and a large mess to clean up in the spring.

“We’ve considered a tankless water heater for our cabin for some time,” said Wunsch. “We use our cabin primarily on the weekends and don’t have consistent water needs, so we’ve been wasting a lot of energy heating our storage tank water heater 24/7. Also, blowing out the lines every Fall and Spring is a huge chore for me and my aging father. The new tankless water heater from American Hometec will make life a lot easier for my family and will help us save on our electric bill. I was so happy when I got the call that I had won the contest; we even had a special family dinner to celebrate!”

The holiday season is the perfect time to install a new T16 unit as it supplies an endless source of hot water, guaranteeing homeowners will never run out of hot water, even with an increase of guests and need for hot water during the holidays.

“American Hometec’s T16 unit is also a perfect gift for the homeowner who wants only the best, top-quality appliances for his home,” said Dave Millilo, vice president of sales and marketing for American Hometec. “This tankless water heater saves time, energy and water, and also features a stunning and modern look that people are proud to showcase in their homes.”

Wunsch will be awarded one of American Hometec’s new T16 units that features the company’s patented Coilless Technology. This technology eliminates lime scale build-up, and comes with a state-of-the-art patent-pending power management and temperature control not found anywhere else on the market.

In addition to being extremely energy efficient, the T16 breaks new ground in the industry by featuring a well-designed, modern machine. Intended to be a sleek bathroom fixture and installed in plain view, the unit features a brushed chrome frame, sophisticated blue LED smooth touch™ temperature control panel, and an easy-clean surface. Also, due to its compact size, the T16 unit is designed for point-of-use installation, which the U.S. Department of Energy recommends to help conserve both valuable water and energy.
