Does anyone have experience with the AO Smith Vertex water heater? My plumbing supply house only carries AO Smith and I am trying to decide between the Vertex and a standard powervent unit. There is about a $450 diffence with the Vertex being around $1450.

I will be using it for my DHW and radiant heating (isolated thru a heat exchanger).

Here is some info on the Vertex for those who have not heard about it. http://www.hotwater.com/lit/spec/res_gas/ARG-SS01306.pdf

thanks,

michael

Be wise and buy the extended warranty..........

That looks pretty snazzy......

looks like a great idea and sort of a alternative to
a tankless water heater if it is 93% efficient..???

I would love to fool with one myself....

the only downside I see to it is the fact that it is
an A.O.Smith....

and if it is anything like the quality
i have seen with the lesser models,

you better buy the extended 10 yr warranty
or it will break your heart. ....6 1/2... years from now.. ..


I woud not buy their power vent heater... on
principle alone..

as far as AO Smith goes it is all I really have "inexpensive" access to. I am building as an owner/builder and my buddy was kind enough to put me on his cash account at the supply house. I get around 40% off list, which is better than I can get anywhere else. The supply house only carries AO Smith.
