The new EcoKnight XL series is available in four models, with outputs ranging from 113 to 283kW, and is designed to deliver unparalleled performance, efficiency, and reliability for commercial applications.
The new EcoKnight XL models boast a remarkable seasonal efficiency of over 96%, a 10:1 turndown ratio, and an updated heat exchanger that enhances overall system performance. Designed with versatility in mind, the units feature rear connections, and the ability to cascade up to eight units to enable the water heater to match demand. This increases overall efficiency, which makes them ideal for both retrofit and new construction projects.

The EcoKnight XL’s SMART TOUCH™ operating control technology is standard across all models, providing contractors and facility managers with seamless connectivity and precise system control for easy monitoring and adjustments. The advanced heat exchanger features larger tubing, which requires less pump energy, further enhancing the system’s efficiency. Additionally, the new units come equipped with an upgraded air filtration system, to protect the burner by effectively trapping particles in the filter.
Designed with a sleek, industrial aesthetic and sophisticated badging, the EcoKnight XL series is available in four sizes, including the new 283kW unit. This makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of commercial applications, including schools, commercial buildings, hotels, and healthcare facilities.
