A.O. Smith Is the Premier Brand for the Property Management Industry

Resident Satisfaction & Retention A.O. Smith water heaters are designed with the DynaClean™ diffuser system to deliver industry leading first-hour delivery. This maximizes the amount of hot water delivered gallon-for-gallon. Reducing Operating Costs A.O. Smith water heaters are manufactured with an exclusive Blue Diamond® tank lining, which provides unsurpassed protection against leaks and reduces rust formation. This means fewer leaks, which ultimately means fewer change-outs and less budget spent supplying residents with hot water.

Save Maintenance Professionals Time A.O. Smith water heaters are built with the maintenance professional in mind. Features that simplify installation and reduce service time include the Honeywell Gas Valve with LED Diagnostics, exclusive CoreGard™ anode rod, easy-to-access resettable thermal switch, expandable venting material for direct vent heaters, and a three- position blower on power vents.

While all water heaters basically look the same, it is what is inside that matters. A.O. Smith heaters are built with premium components that A.O. Smith owns—components are not sourced. If you want a heater built to meet the needs of professional property managers, then A.O. Smith is the brand for you.
