Water Heaters

These units have a large storage tank that holds heated water until it is needed. The tank is insulated to prevent heat loss, and a thermostat controls the temperature of the water. When hot water is used in the home, cold water enters the bottom of the tank and is heated by the burner or heating element.

These units do not have a storage tank and instead heat water as it is needed. When hot water is turned on in the home, cold water flows through the unit and is heated by a heat exchanger or heating element. Tankless systems are more energy-efficient than tank-type water heaters because they do not waste energy keeping a large tank of water hot when it is not needed.

A hybrid water heater combines the best features of the tank-type and tankless water heaters. These units have a small storage tank and a heat pump that uses electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into the tank to heat the water. Hybrid heaters are more energy-efficient than tank-type heaters and can provide a continuous supply of hot water.

Overall, water heaters are an essential appliance in most homes, providing hot water for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. It’s important to choose the right system for your home and to properly maintain it to ensure that it operates safely and efficiently.
