New
AO Smith Gas Water Heater with the highest energy efficiency
AO Smith Effex
is the high efficiency gas-fired water heater, with the highest EF
factor of 0.70 in the water heating industry. AO Smith manufacturer
claims that cost of operating the heater can be reduced by
25%, when compares to the traditional gas water heaters.
Technology
that A O Smith is using to build the heater with such energy
efficiency is based on the patented air intake system where the combustion
chamber works in the pressurized environment, so the additional heat is
gained by extracting it from the products of combustion.
Effex is using the green technology, and that is why AO Smith is
applying a new technology on the most popular 40 and 50-gallon heaters.
