ASHLAND CITY, Tenn., Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A. O. Smith, America's largest water heater manufacturer, has added a retrofit-ready, plug-in model to its award-winning lineup of high efficiency Voltex® heat pump water heaters. For those who need to switch their fuel source, whether to decarbonize and/or lower their energy bills, the new Voltex 120V allows most homeowners with gas water heaters to easily switch to a high efficiency heat pump water heater (HPWH) without the up-front costs of electrical panel upgrades, which can run around $1,000. Four times more efficient than a like capacity standard gas tank water heater, Voltex 120V easily plugs into a 15A shared circuit and delivers the equivalent amount of hot water in the first hour [FHR] as the standard gas water heater that it is designed to replace. With less space requirements than standard HPWHs, Voltex® 120V was designed to be a quick and hassle-free replacement for existing gas water heaters, offering an easy 120V installation that plugs into a standard electrical outlet.

Key Points: 
  • According to the Advanced Water Heating Initiative , transitioning all water heaters in the U.S. to heat pump technology would save nearly 100 million tons in carbon emissions every year.
  • Compared to a gas water heater, Voltex 120V can save homeowners up to $118 on annual utility bills.
  • For more information about Voltex® 120V and how A. O. Smith's family of high efficiency heat pump water heaters save energy and lower energy bills, visit www.hotwater.com .
  • *Comparing 66-gallon Voltex 120V heat pump against pre-2015 similarly-sized standard gas water heater using DOE EF to UEF conversion rates $0.14 per kWh electricity and $1.21 per therm of natural gas.
