Hi Efficiency Gas Hot Water tanks provided by Gundlach include the A.O. Smith “Vertex” for homes that demand more hot water than ever before, and 90% efficient. The Vertex power-vent gas water heater offers unprecedented levels of performance to meet the need. The 50-gallon Vertex delivers hot water output that rivals a 75-gallon atmospheric gas water heater. In fact, the fully condensing Vertex design is so advanced, it can deliver “endless hot water for showers”…a continuous flow of over 3 gallons per minute.* Yet Vertex is easy to install, with height, diameter and installation requirements similar to standard power-vent units.

Hi Efficiency Electric Hot Water tanks provided by Gundlach include the A.O. Smith Voltex Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater.  The Voltex absorbs environmental heat and transfers it to heat the water, at the same time cooling and dehumidifying the ambient air. The 80-gallon tank means more energy created through the heat pump technology and can be stored, resulting in larger savings.  It can operate in high efficiency, hybrid and traditional electric modes.






Tankless Hot water Heaters provided by Gundlach include Rinnia and Takagi.  With tankless water heaters, you’ll enjoy up to 40% energy savings.  That’s because these units are designed to be highly efficient and only heat water when it’s needed.  When there is a demand for hot water, the unit senses the flow and starts the heating process.  This results in hot water that is not limited to what’s available in your tank, so you always have clean, hot water when you want it for as long as you need it!  When the demand for hot water ceases, the tankless unit shuts down and uses no energy.  Tankless water heaters have an Energy factor >.82.
