Electric water heaters are appliances that use electricity to heat water for various household needs, such as bathing, cooking, and cleaning. They typically consist of a tank that stores hot water and heating elements that warm the water to the desired temperature. These heaters are available in different sizes and capacities to suit various household demands. There are two main types of electric water heaters: tank and tankless. Tank water heaters store a large volume of hot water, while tankless models heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply without the need for a storage tank. Both types are energy-efficient options for ensuring a steady supply of hot water.
