A. O. Smith Introduces Outdoor Split System Heat Pump Water Heater
A. O. Smith is introducing the most adaptable addition yet to its lineup of residential heat pump water heaters for maximum efficiency, hot water delivery and protection. The A. O. Smith Voltex X was designed to excel in applications where standard heat pump products were previously not an option, including in space-constrained locations such as closets, in regions with extreme cold temperatures and in noise-sensitive shared-living environments.
Developed in partnership with Panasonic, the new water heater is the most versatile option for consumers who want to save money on utility bills. With a Uniform Energy Factor of up to 3.80, the ENERGY STAR-certified system can reduce utility costs by up to 76% compared to standard electric water heaters.
Designed for performance and sustainability, Voltex X utilizes CO₂ refrigerant – which has a 99.9% lower global warming potential compared to standard refrigerants. This allows the unit to operate at maximum efficiency and function seamlessly in ambient temperatures as low as -25 F, ensuring reliable performance year-round.
