Some Of Our Recent Projects:
Dickie Residence
Posted by Ben on 02-25-2010
Location: McKinleyville
System: A.O. Smith Vertex Water Heater
The Vertex high-efficiency family combines an advanced internal heat exchanger with input up to 100,000 BTU, inspired by A.O. Smith's time-tested Cyclone commercial design. The result:
* Up to 96% money-saving thermal efficiency heats more water for less energy
* Hot water output exceeds larger, less efficient 75-gallon units
* Continuous hot water means homeowners can always get "one more hot shower"
* Installs easily with standard gas and water connections
* Vents using PVC pipe, providing tremendous flexibility, and eliminates the effort and expense of metal venting required with some water heaters
* The Vertex 100 features an LCD with an easy-to-navigate menu providing unit operating information, diagnostics and precise temperature control
