A.O. Smith only entered the water treatment game in 2011, but it quickly became one of the top water heater brands in the world. Our panel of plumbers and HVAC technicians recommend it as the top brand, with five of our seven experts name-dropping it.

“They are known for their long lifespan, superior build quality, and excellent warranties, providing peace of mind and great value,” says Mehdi Khachani, CEO of JMK Plumbing. A long lifespan is key because you don’t want to replace a water heater too frequently.

Patrick Sullivan, operations manager at John The Plumber, says that A.O. Smith water heaters “combine innovative technology with reliability.” One of their most popular models is the A.O. Smith Signature 500, an electric water heater with leak detection and automatic shut-off. A mobile app allows you to control the water heater remotely and receive notifications if there’s an issue.
