Benefits of Electric Water Heaters
No Venting Required
Unlike gas water heaters, A. O. Smith electric units do not require venting to operate, saving space in your home along with initial installation costs.
Easy Installation
Electric water heaters are quick and easy to install for any home when replacing a similar model with the same electric power needs. A. O. Smith recommends consulting a professional installer for a speedy and proper installation.
Long Lasting
A. O. Smith electric water heaters are built to last with limited warranties that range in various lengths of time to help ensure that your home has hot water for years to come.
How it Works
A. O. Smith electric water heaters heat water using one or two electric heating elements. When a hot water fixture is opened, hot water flows out of the water heating unit and through hot water lines in the home. Depending on the unit, the water is either pre-heated using heating elements inside a tank to maintain a set temperature so it’s ready for use or is heated quickly on demand with a tankless unit to save energy.
Electric tank water heaters include a thermostat, a temperature and pressure relief valve, and a drain valve. All of these components are needed to monitor the hot water and ensure efficient, reliable, and safe operation.
Electric tankless water heaters assist in reducing the energy consumption within your home by not having to heat water in storage tanks that goes unused. When sized appropriately, a constant supply of hot water is delivered to your home with ease when you need it. They can be easily installed in places where tank water heaters can’t go, including closets and bathrooms.
