What Is a Water Heater?

When you hear the word water heater, it might be confusing as there are many diverse types of water heaters. In the simplest sense, a water heater is an appliance that provides hot or warm water to your home. Water heaters come in three general categories: electric, natural gas, and propane. Each type has a water tank that stores water until it is ready to be heated. There are also tankless water heaters that provide water on demand instead of heating water in a tank.

What Is a Water Heater’s Purpose?

A water heater can be used for a variety of reasons. First, you can use it to heat cold water for cleaning and other purposes. You can also use it to keep clean water hot enough for bathing or even simply drinking. If you live in a cold region, then you could also use your water heater to keep your home warm during winter. This application can be beneficial when your outdoor pipes are exposed to extreme weather conditions or in homes without proper insulation.

What Are the Different Types of Water Heater?

When you’re looking for a new water heater, consider the size and fuel source that best suits your needs. The right system will provide enough hot water to meet all your family’s daily demands while also being an energy-efficient choice — saving you money!

The main types of water heaters are gas, electric, and propane-fueled. Standard tank-style water heater capacities range from 30 to 80 gallons, with larger models available for houses with more people or large families. Some newer, high-efficiency models have a smaller carbon footprint while providing sufficient hot water for large homes.

In the United States, most water heaters are gas-fired or electric, while solar water heaters are more common in Europe and other parts of the world. Some newer systems combine both technologies for maximum efficiency and hot water production.

The three main types of tankless water heater systems are:

  • Direct-flow instant water heaters
  • Heat-pump water heaters
  • Solar water heaters

Water Heater Frequently Asked Questions

How long do water heaters last?

The typical life span of a water heater is around 10 to 15 years. If it’s older than that, you’ll probably want to consider replacing it as soon as possible. New water heater models operate much more efficiently and provide hot water faster.

How can you extend the life of your water heater?

Steps you can take to extend the life of your water heater include: scheduling annual inspections, flushing the tank regularly (and draining it every three to four years), using a water softener, and making sure you don’t overfill the tank.
