Electric

Point of Use

Compact water heaters can be installed wherever a small amount of hot water is needed such as in a cottage, an office, a store or in isolated bathrooms.

Standard, Cascade & Super Cascade

Standard residential electric water heaters have a factory-installed heat trap. It helps reduce the migration of hot water, thus limiting heat loss escaping through inlet and outlet fittings.Cascade and Super Cascade models are designed with a cold water inlet at the bottom of the tank. They allow you to get 10% more hot water compared to traditional top entry water heaters.

ECOPEAK® technology

Available in 60 Imp. Gal. capacities, these water heaters have three heating elements, they are more energy efficient in peak periods than a traditional two-element model.

Expert Plus

These highly durable water heaters are made exclusively for certified contractors and qualified installers. Only these professionals can ensure that your water heater is installed in accordance with current codes and standards. You’ll get a superior quality water heater, a better warranty and expert service, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

Voltex® AL Connected Heat Pump

The Voltex® AL connected heat pump from A. O. Smith is ENERGY STAR® certified, offers exceptional efficiency with a UEF of up to 3.88, and reduces water heating costs by up to 75%. Operational from 2°C, it ensures reliable performance all year round. Its quiet compressor (45 dBA) is suitable for basements and laundry rooms. Installation is simple thanks to its flexible connections and no space requirements on the sides. iCOMM™ connectivity allows for remote control. Leak sensors and a smart anode protect the unit.

Connected Electric

This connected electric water heater provides reliable hot water, high performance, and energy savings for modern households. Its dual copper heating elements and dry-fire protection ensures quick recovery and long-lasting operation. An integrated leak sensor triggers an audible alert, and the optional shut-off valve cuts off the water supply to prevent damage. Its compact design fits easily into laundry rooms. The intuitive control panel offers simple diagnostics and two modes. With Wi-Fi connectivity, you can monitor and control the device remotely via a mobile app.

Gas

Atmospheric Vent

For atmospheric vent water heaters, air is drawn from inside the home and the exhaust is vented into a chimney. This heater features FVIR technology, which prevents the ignition of flammable vapours (including aerosols, solvents, gasoline, paint, paint thinner and lacquer). This water heater also features: a glass-lined tank, heavy-duty anode rod, and a thermostat that allows for easy temperature adjustments. Maintenance is simple with an easy-to-access combustion chamber and conveniently located drain valve.

Atmospheric Vent with Powered Damper

This atmospheric vent water heater uses its flue damper to increase efficiency by automatically opening and closing the vent to reduce heat loss in standby mode. Environmentally-friendly insulation and factory-installed heat trap nipples also reduce heat loss for maximum energy savings. This tank also includes a heavy-duty anode rod. 

Note, power is required for this model.

Power Vent

A power vent water heater is used when conventional chimney venting is not an option. Air is drawn from inside the home, while a motorized blower forces the exhaust outside. This water heater features: factory-installed heat trap nipples, sensor to detect flammable vapours, state-of-the-art electronic gas control, and flexible venting options. This unit is ideal as a replacement water heater in a variety of applications due to its 3-position rotatable blower.

Power Direct Vent

A power direct vent water heater is ideal when inside air can’t be used for combustion, and a longer vent run is required. The air is drawn from outside using a pipe, and a motorized blower forces the exhaust outside. This water heater features: a sealed combustion chamber; factory-installed heat trap nipples; flexible venting options; a compact design for tight spaces, which makes it suitable for closet installations; and a conveniently located temperature and pressure relief valve, drain valve, junction box and anode rod, which allows for easy maintenance.

Tankless

Adapt™ SC

Adapt™ SC is a high-efficiency condensing tankless water heater featuring X3™ scale‑prevention technology and a robust stainless steel heat exchanger. Available in high-output models with 160 k, 180 k, and 199 k BTU input, delivering up to 10.5 GPM of continuous hot water. Adapt™ SC is ENERGY STAR® certified with a 0.95 Uniform Energy Factor ensuring maximum energy savings. Built-in digital controls allow easy monitoring of performance and error status. Capable of cascading up to 12 units for scalable hot water solutions.

Storage Tanks

Storage Tanks

Offered in 30, 40 and 60 imperial gallon, these tanks keep water at a constant temperature, regardless of demand. When selecting your storage tank, optimize your comfort and choose a potable water or space heating application. These storage tanks are ideal for modern households that require larger volumes of hot water for multiple bathrooms, multi-showerhead systems, extra-large bathtubs or whirlpools, spas, etc.
