A.O. Smith has a new High-efficiency water heater. It’s called “ Next Hybrid ”. We were fortunate to have Danny, and Zach from Morrison Supply run one buy or shop for a look. This water heater fills a gap between the tankless, and the Vertex (High-efficiency gas 98%!). The Vertex has been one of my favorite heaters but I’ve noticed it’s a bit taller than I prefer, making it harder to position. The “Next Hybrid” model is much more compact.
For the vital statistics…
- 100,000 BTU
- 90% efficient
- First hour gallons, 189
- 32” deep, 23 2/4” wide, 47, ½ tall
- PVC venting
Features & Benefits:
- Condensing technology delivers 90% thermal efficiency —
more efficient than most tankless or conventional
storage technology - Combines the best features of tankless and
conventional technologies to create a new
category in water heating - Eliminates “cold water sandwiches”
- Benefits of tankless at a lower total installed cost
