AO Smith Tankless Water Heaters
Do more with less when you install a tankless AO Smith water heater. These systems heat your water on demand instead of storing it in a tank and keeping it hot over the course of the day. They are compact and give you the ultimate control over outgoing water temperature.
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.
A.O. Smith Warranty Tiers
Choose the right level of protection for your home and budget.
6-Year Warranty
The entry-level A.O. Smith series — dependable and affordable. These units require annual tank draining to prevent mineral deposits from cracking the glass lining. Comes with a 6-year warranty on parts & tank, plus a 1-year labor warranty. Properly maintained, expect 8+ years of service life.
10-Year Warranty
A popular step-up with self-cleaning technology that circulates water to slow mineral buildup — plus improved energy efficiency to reduce your bills. Includes a 10-year warranty on parts & tank and a 1-year labor warranty, covering most of the heater’s usable life.
15-Year Warranty
The top-of-the-line residential unit — featuring higher efficiency, metal & brass parts, self-cleaning, and a second anode rod for superior corrosion protection. Backed by a non-prorated 15-year warranty on parts & tank plus a 1-year labor warranty. If the tank fails after 14 years, you get a brand new one free.
ENERGY STAR Certified Models
A.O. Smith ENERGY STAR units go beyond minimum standards with electronic ignition (no standing pilot light) and automatic flue dampers — slashing standby energy losses and delivering noticeable utility bill savings across all warranty tiers.
Efficiency Standards & Compliance
DOE updated minimum efficiency standards in 2015 (effective April 16, 2015). ENERGY STAR certification exceeds these with stricter UEF requirements. Most high-efficiency gas models require a standard 120V outlet for ignition — units include a cord for easy hookup, and restart automatically after power outages.
