Raleigh, NC (April 26, 2017) — Gardner Marsh Gas Equipment Co., a wholesale distributor of gas equipment and appliances, announced recently a new battery backup system designed specifically for tankless water heaters called HUGO. As the demand for tankless water heaters continues to grow, and as more consumers realize the benefits and advantages of a tankless over a traditional storage tank water heater, an important question remains: What happens not if, but when, the power goes out?

By providing up to seven days of normal operation for most tankless water heater usage, and by offering a Pure Sine Wave output that functions as a battery backup and a surge protector, HUGO is an ideal product for homeowners and small businesses such as restaurants, clinics, small offices, laundries, salons, and many other types of businesses whose operations rely on hot water.

HUGO is ETL certified and designed with IP54 grade rating for outdoor permanent mount to withstand most any weather conditions. Rinnai Technical Bulletin 130 approves HUGO for use as a backup for Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters and Home Heating Products.
