AO Smith ProLine vs Lowe’s Signature Series: Why Going Pro with Modern Plumbing Makes All the Difference

When it’s time to replace your water heater, it’s tempting to head straight to your local big-box store. Lowe’s, for example, sells the AO Smith Signature Series water heaters, a well-known brand at a convenient price point. But is it the best option for your home?

At Modern Plumbing, Inc., we proudly install the AO Smith ProLine Electric Water Heater, a superior professional-grade model that offers higher quality, better performance, and longer-lasting value.
Let’s break down the differences and why going with Modern Plumbing and the AO Smith ProLine makes the smart choice.

🔧 1. Built for Professionals: ProLine = Premium Quality
The AO Smith ProLine Series is exclusively sold to licensed plumbers—not available to the general public. These models are designed with higher-grade components, tighter quality control, and enhanced durability. In contrast, the Signature Series at Lowe’s is built for DIY installation and comes with lighter-duty components to keep retail costs low.
Key ProLine Features:

• Commercial-grade heating elements
• Brass drain valves (vs. plastic on retail models)
• Higher energy efficiency ratings
• Built for longer lifespan and daily demand

🛠️ 2. Professional Installation Matters
Buying a water heater at Lowe’s often means hiring a third-party contractor—or worse, trying to install it yourself. With Modern Plumbing, Inc., you get licensed, insured technicians who handle every step professionally, from removal to code-compliant installation.
Benefits of choosing Modern Plumbing:

• Full warranty protection (including labor)
• Accurate sizing and placement
• Code-approved pressure relief valves and expansion tanks
• No installation guesswork—just peace of mind

🔒 3. Warranty and Support: Better with ProLine
AO Smith ProLine water heaters installed by Modern Plumbing come with longer warranties, stronger support, and direct manufacturer backing when installed by a licensed plumber.

🏆 4. Long-Term Value You Can Trust
Yes, the Signature Series may look more affordable up front—but with shorter lifespans, more frequent repairs, and lower energy efficiency, it often ends up costing homeowners more in the long run.
Choosing Modern Plumbing and the AO Smith ProLine Series gives you:

• A more durable, efficient heater
• Full professional installation and inspection
• Fewer repairs, longer life
• Modern Plumbing 1 Year Warranty Coverage

✅ Final Verdict: Go Pro with Modern Plumbing
If you want a reliable, long-lasting water heater backed by expert installation and local support, Modern Plumbing, Inc. is your best bet. The AO Smith ProLine Electric Water Heater isn’t just a better product—it’s a smarter investment in your home’s comfort and efficiency.
