A. O. SMITH CORP.
RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER
The Voltex MAX HPWH can deliver homeowners around 40% higher First Hour Ratings than similarly sized electric water heaters and heat pump water heaters, the company says. The Voltex MAX unit’s smart valve technology allows a contractor to install a smaller tank in an area where space is tight and still get comparable performance to a larger tank by using the unit’s Hot Water + modes. For added peace of mind, the smart sensor provides notifications through A. O. Smith’s notification-enabled mobile app in the event of a detected leak. An automatic shutoff valve also comes standard on all Voltex MAX models to further protect homes. The smart anode adapts to local water conditions, protecting and extending the life of the water heater, and it displays an error code on the control panel when it needs to be replaced.
