A. O. Smith announced the addition of the EMERGE-i commercial heat pump water heater. With a 3.88 Uniform Energy Factor (UEF), the EMERGE-i HPWH can save facilities money on annual energy costs — providing building owners with an efficient and cost-effective option. The unit features whisper-quiet operation at 45 dBA, minimizing noise disruptions in the building. With integrated ducting adapters, the unit can easily be installed in smaller commercial applications. A zero-clearance design on the top and back, top water connections and lower space requirements than other heat pump water heaters, also support an easy installation for contractors.
