“Replacing both boilers with a single iQ751 gave us the confidence needed during high occupancy. We eliminated over 2/3 of our existing hot water storage tanks and saw an average of 35% reduction in therms per occupied room vs. last year.”
– Tyler Jordan, General Manager
The Challenge
80% atmospheric vented boilers were being used, along with three 100 gallon storage tanks. The whole system was in bad shape, leaking, and needed to be replaced with a system that was more efficient with less storage.
The Intellihot Solution
A single Intellihot iQ751 paired with a hundred gallon of storage offers plenty of capacity during full occupancy on weekends and game days while the built-in 3X redundancy increased the overall system reliability.
