AO Smith Water Heaters in Leawood, KS

AO Smith has been manufacturing water heaters since 1936 and is one of the largest water heater companies globally. Their residential product line covers gas and electric tanks, tankless gas units, and hybrid heat pump water heaters. AO Smith units are available through both professional channels and select retail outlets.

For Leawood homes, AO Smith's Signature Series gas tanks are the most commonly installed residential line — reliable, well-built, and available in 40-, 50-, and 75-gallon configurations. The Signature Premier line adds enhanced insulation and longer warranty coverage.

AO Smith's hybrid heat pump water heaters are notable. Their Voltex line (now part of the broader hybrid lineup) has been one of the top-performing heat pump units in independent testing. For Leawood homeowners on electric who want to reduce energy costs significantly, AO Smith's hybrid units use up to 3x less electricity than standard electric tanks. These work well in basements and garages where there's ambient heat to extract.

On the tankless side, AO Smith offers condensing gas units that deliver continuous hot water with thermal efficiency above 90%. Like all tankless units in Leawood, annual descaling is required to manage mineral buildup from hard water.

AO Smith also has a strong track record in high-capacity applications — for larger Leawood homes in neighborhoods like Hallbrook or Wilshire by the Lake that need 75-gallon tanks or multiple units, AO Smith's commercial-grade residential options provide the capacity and build quality needed.
