Recently, the company has developed "ECO ONE", a hybrid hot water dispenser.
"What is unique about this hybrid hot water dispenser is that it combines the advantages of electricity and gas," said Kimiatsu Nakao, Sales Manager, Rinnai Corporation.
'ECO ONE' consists of two units. The left one, "Heat Pomp", is run by electricity and is mainly used to increase heat efficiency. The right one, "Ecojozu", is run by gas and is used to quickly heat up water.
"When we talk about the comfort, health, energy and cost then this machine is most suitable, which is run by electricity and gas. We keep trying to improve the technology," said Nakao.

Also it can reduce 60 per cent of CO2 emission. We believe that our technology will be able to contribute to the world in the future," added Nakao.
