We offer rebates of up to $50,000 on direct contact water heaters to help laundry facilities, food processors, dairy operations, concrete plants, greenhouses and other industries keep up with demand for hot water and keep natural gas costs down. 

Direct contact water heaters heat water as it comes into contact with gases from a natural gas flame and can produce large volumes of sanitary hot water for industrial processes, quickly and efficiently.
