Water heater how it works Videos

+gj4king1 Hello and thanks for your note. Capacity, brand reputation and fuel are the three main technical things you need to consider when choosing a tankless heater. But before you get that far you need to decide if tankless is right for you at all. It’s not ideal in every situation. Tankless water heaters are wall-mounted appliances that heat water only as it’s needed. They just sit there, using no energy at all until a hot water tap somewhere is turned on. As soon as water flows through the heater, it fires up the heating system, raising the temperature of water as it flows through the heater. There is no tank of hot water sitting there between uses losing energy, as is the case with your current heater. Elimination of these “stand-by” losses is why tankless heaters were invented.All this said, if you have a large household and use lots of hot water, standby losses from a tank-style heater become less significant. Also, today’s best tank-style heaters are well insulated with foam, so standby losses are smaller than they used to be. Then there’s the issue of an energy source. The only tankless water heaters worth installing use either propane or natural gas. Forget electric ones. If your home isn’t made for these, getting either one piped in adds cost to the installation. Here’s the bottom line: If you need a new tank-style heater, tankless is worth considering, especially when space is at a premium in your house. Choose a tankless heater that has more than enough heating capacity for your household. And finally, choose a brand with a long reputation for quality. Tankless water heaters are much more technically complex than tank-style heaters, so it takes an experienced company to make them reliable. Bosch, Rinnai and Rheem are three trustworthy names.Drop by my website https://baileylineroad.com for a visit sometime.

Good Morning gasmanrm,Thanks for your comments and insights. In my experience tankless heaters only need deliming when water is hard, and then it's a pretty simple process. Most people on municipal supplies are getting water from a lake or river, and that's soft water. As for getting cold water for your shower, that can happen if the unit is undersized. If it's properly sized hot water just keeps coming out of the tap. There are instances when tank-style heater makes the most sense, but tankless units are a great thing in my experience and from the experience of people I know who've switched over.Anyway, we can agree to disagree, if you like.Take care,Steve

wll. I was asked before how the water heater works and I didnot know the answer Thanks for the useful information .

Nice video. It would have been nice if you showed us a real element up close but still useful. Thanks!

hey man thanks for all your great videos, really giving some insight and helping me get through class

the heater element is contained in a metal tube, surely?

Is it possible to mess up the coils? Like burn them?

who ever invented the water heater is a god :))

kewl..i love knowledge
