Find Your Water Heater

Standard residential 80-gallon electric water heaters have been unavailable since 2015 due to NAECA 3 regulations requiring electric storage water heaters above 55 gallons to use heat pump technology. Hybrid heat pump water heaters are available in this capacity. These larger tanks are also physically challenging to install at 65-75 inches tall and often won't fit through standard doorways or typical closet spaces.

Standard residential 80-gallon electric water heaters were discontinued in 2015 when NAECA 3 mandated heat pump technology for electric tanks over 55 gallons. Heat pump models in this capacity are available and use up to 70% less electricity than standard electric tanks. Starting May 6, 2029, new DOE regulations will extend the heat pump requirement to all electric tanks over 35 gallons

You can buy 80-gallon water heaters, but only as heat pump models for electric systems. Standard residential electric 80-gallon tanks haven't been available since 2015 due to efficiency regulations. Available alternatives include hybrid heat pump water heaters or gas tankless models. Many homeowners find that properly sized 50-65 gallon tanks or tankless systems meet their needs more efficiently.

An 80-gallon water heater suits large households with 5+ people, multiple bathrooms, or high-demand fixtures like large soaking tubs. For smaller households, it's oversized and wastes energy and money. Use A. O. Smith's XPERT Residential Water Heater Selector to determine the right size based on your usage patterns and local climate.
