What Keltech Inc does

Keltech Inc designs and manufactures commercial-grade electric tankless water heaters used in commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and large industrial operations. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Carrollton, TX, the company operates as a brand and product line within Laars Heating Systems Company, which is itself a subsidiary of Bradford White Corporation. Keltech's products are marketed under the "Powered by Keltech" label inside Laars' commercial portfolio and are sold across the US and Canada. Customer segments span office buildings, hotels, and restaurants (commercial buildings), food processing and light manufacturing (light industrial), and bottling and large-scale food processing (large industrial).

The company's core technology centers on a fully modulating controller that heats water only on demand and draws only the actual kW required, rather than staged or full-power operation. The product portfolio covers 5 kW to 144 kW across four series — H Series (5-25 kW, commercial), G Series (18-25 kW, light industrial), F Series (36-50 kW, light industrial), and N Series (36-144 kW, large industrial), plus an N Series Skid (C Series) variant. The integrated design requires a single electrical connection and a single water connection, with no external pumps or fusing, and produces 491,000 BTUs in roughly 3 square feet of footprint. Eliminating tanks, anodes, and softeners removes recurring tank-based maintenance.

Keltech's go-to-market runs through professional channels — an extensive US/Canada distributor network, a certified contractor locator, regional sales representatives, and Laars-authorized service centers — supported by MasterSpec documents, Revit/BIM drawings, a RightSpec sizing tool, and Laars Academy training. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no separate revenue is reported because the business is reported within Laars/Bradford White. Marketing is conducted primarily through the Laars website, social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram), and document/rebate centers for both US and Canada.
