This Florida fire station utilizes two outdoor iQ251 units to guarantee reliable hot water and save indoor space.
For first responders at Palm Coast Fire Station 26, reliable hot water is essential for both daily living and critical post-call decontamination. To meet these demands without compromising valuable indoor square footage needed for equipment and vehicles, the facility opted for a high-efficiency tankless solution perfectly suited for the Florida climate.
The station installed two Intellihot iQ251 units completely outdoors. This exterior setup frees up 100% of the indoor mechanical footprint while delivering powerful, on-demand performance. Utilizing Intellihot’s Masterless Cascading technology, the two units work seamlessly together to balance the hot water load. This provides the station with built-in redundancy, ensuring that even if one unit is undergoing routine maintenance, the crew always has access to uninterrupted hot water when they return from a call.
By moving away from bulky indoor storage tanks to a streamlined outdoor setup, Fire Station 26 benefits from a resilient, energy-efficient system built to support their 24/7 operational needs.
