A. O. Smith Water Heaters (Gas & Electric)

Why the Installer Matters Even More Than the Brand

Water heaters perform best when they’re sized accurately, vented and piped to code, and commissioned correctly. Homestead Comfort handles:

• Right‑sizing and recovery planning (first‑hour rating, flow rate, and temperature‑rise calculations) so you get the hot water you actually need.
• Gas, venting, electrical, and condensate details specific to each technology (tank, tankless, hybrid) for safe, efficient operation. 
• Placement and protection (pans, leak detection, smart shutoff options) to reduce risk and meet best practices. 

Warranty & Support

A. O. Smith provides model‑specific limited warranties (commonly 6–10 years on tank and parts for many tank models; select tankless models may include longer heat‑exchanger coverage). Warranty terms depend on the product and proper installation/registration; you can verify coverage by serial number using A. O. Smith’s official warranty lookup. 

We register your equipment (when applicable), supply documentation, and provide maintenance plans to keep your warranty intact.

Whole‑Home to Near‑Line: How We Match the System to You

• Whole‑Home Tank or Hybrid: Best overall value for families wanting large first‑hour capacity and straightforward maintenance. 
• Whole‑Home Tankless: Ideal where continuous hot water and space savings matter; we specify gas supply, venting, and temperature‑rise needs up front. 
• Near‑Line / Point‑of‑Use: Small electric tank or electric tankless units for remote fixtures or additions, minimizing wait time and piping heat loss.
