AO Smith Tankless Water Heaters

AO Smith tankless water heaters are available in several models, with each offering different capabilities and levels of efficiency. All are simple to install, and even the standard model delivers an energy efficiency rating of over 99%.
AO SMITH GAS WATER HEATERS
Even though there are more modern types of water heaters on the market, the most popular kind you will find in the U.S. remains the reliable gas water heater. Exploiting the fact that heat rises, most of these machines consist of a large water-filled drum that has a heating mechanism attached.
A gas water heater will deliver hot water into your home when you need it. These water heaters balance efficiency and performance that will meet your family’s budget and hot water needs. Even if you don’t want a traditional tank-type water heater, AO Smith offers several options for gas-powered units.
- Standard Tank Water Heaters. This is your most affordable option upfront even though it will offer the least in energy savings after installation.
- Energy Star Water Heaters. These gas water heaters have electric ignition pilot lights, better insulation, and deliver much higher levels of energy savings.
- Tankless Water Heaters. This space-saving model provides hot water on demand and is the most energy-efficient option in gas-powered water heaters.
AO SMITH HYBRID ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS
AO Smith’s hybrid electric water heaters use heat pumps to heat the water in your home. An electric heat pump, instead of generating the heat directly, will move the heat from one place to another to heat your water.
These systems are a cross between a traditional and hybrid water heater and can come with additional settings that will help keep the cost of your water bill down. Homeowners can specify how the system is used to heat water on demand. Because hybrid water heaters pull heat from the air, they are best installed in an area that will remain between 40 and 90 degrees.
AO SMITH ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS
Your home’s water heater is used for multiple purposes each day, so it is nearly always under stress and is rarely turned off. Because of this, an electric water heater can be a drain on your home’s monthly financial resources if it is not made by a reputable company or running efficiently.
There are several benefits to purchasing an electric water heater. These units are often the most efficient and can also be the most affordable options on the market. There are also several options in electric water heaters, from small to large tanks for both immediate and long-term use. Since an electric water heater doesn’t need a release exhaust, it will take up less space than a standard gas water heater.
When you by a AO Smith electric water heater, there are three main choices:
- Standard Tank Water Heaters. This is the typical tank water heater running on electricity to heat your water. It is efficient, but not as much as a tankless water heater powered by gas.
- High-Efficiency Tank Water Heaters. These are also tank water heaters, but they enjoy better insulation to provide additional power bill savings.
- Hybrid Heat Pump. This is a hybrid water heater running on electricity and is an option that can potentially cut your energy bills in half.
We offer a single series of AO Smith Pro residential water heaters. There are differences in warranty-length, price, and features. Our installation coordinators can walk you through the consideration process and help you pick the perfect AO Smith water heater for your home.
6-YEAR WARRANTY AO Smith WATER HEATER

These AO Smith water heaters come with a 6-year warranty on parts & tank, and a 1-year warranty on labor. The 6-year warranty does not mean the unit will only last that long: your water heater, if properly maintained, should have a life-span of at least 8 years.
10-YEAR WARRANTY AO Smith WATER HEATER
The 10-year warranty water heaters from AO Smith are a step-up. These water heaters are self-cleaning, which means the unit moves water around the tank to prevent mineral deposits from forming quickly. Additionally, these water heaters are slightly more energy efficient, which will mitigate your energy expenses.
AO Smith 10-year warranty hot water heaters from Fast Water Heater Company come with a 10-year warranty on parts & tank, and a 1-year labor warranty. This is a very popular series because life expectancy of a water heater is around ten years, so the warranty covers most of a heater’s usable life.

These hot water heaters come with a 15-year warranty on parts & tank, and a 1-year, industry leading labor warranty. The warranty is not prorated either, so if your tank fails after 14 years, you will get a brand new one for free.
Energy Star
Energy Star Certified Water Heaters: A 2015 Mandate and Beyond
Since 2015, a significant change has been implemented in the residential water heater market: all new water heaters are required to be Energy Star certified. This shift towards energy efficiency is not just a compliance measure but also a step towards more sustainable living. The AO Smith Energy Star water heaters we offer are a testament to this advancement, providing superior efficiency compared to standard units.
Superior Efficiency with AO Smith Energy Star Water Heaters
The AO Smith Energy Star water heaters in our inventory stand out for their efficiency, which can lead to noticeable savings on your annual energy bills. These units achieve their high-efficiency ratings through innovative features like an electric ignition and damper. Unlike traditional models where a burner constantly heats the water, these advanced units use an electric burner assembly that activates only when needed. This smart operation significantly reduces energy consumption.
Important Considerations for Energy Star Water Heaters
While the benefits of Energy Star water heaters are clear, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind:
Electrical Outlet Requirement: Energy Star water heaters need to be plugged into an electrical outlet. They come with a long cord, but it’s crucial to have an electrical outlet within 15 feet of the unit’s location. This requirement is essential for the proper functioning of the water heater’s advanced features.
Behavior During Power Outages: In the event of a power outage, these water heaters will not be able to heat water, as they rely on electricity for their ignition system. However, it’s important to note that once the power is restored, the unit will automatically resume its operation. This automatic restart ensures that you don’t need to manually reignite the heater, adding a layer of convenience and safety.
The AO Smith Advantage
Choosing an AO Smith Energy Star water heater means investing in a product that offers both environmental benefits and potential cost savings. These units are designed to meet the needs of modern households, prioritizing efficiency and convenience. By selecting an Energy Star certified water heater, you’re not only complying with the latest standards but also making a smart choice for your home and the environment.
