Our Most Popular A.O. Smith Water Heaters

When it comes to gas-fired storage water heaters, it’s hard to beat A.O. Smith’s variety. The breadth of their catalog ensures that, no matter the application, there is an A.O. Smith water heater that fits your needs. In this blog, we’ll be looking at some of Able Distributors best-selling A.O. Smith water heaters and just why they are so popular.

ProMax Atmospheric Vent

ProMax Atmospheric Vent is A.O. Smith’s standard gas-fired storage water heater product line. Energy Factor ratings for these water heaters hover around 0.60 and storage capacities range from 30 to 50 gallons. A.O. Smith designed these water heaters to last; each one is equipped with a Blue Diamond glass lining, a CoreGard anode rod, and a DynaClean dip tube. These enhancements prevent corrosion and fight sediment buildup. A.O. Smith trusts this design enough to provide a 6-year warranty for not only the tank, but all parts as well. Two inches of non-CFC foam insulation prevent standby losses and the control features a microprocessor with intelligent control logic for precise temperature control.
