Electric Water Heater

Electric water heaters increase the water temperature using one or two heating elements that convert electricity into heat. Sizes of electric water heaters range from a few gallons to over one hundred gallons. The sizing depends on the number of people in the household, number of bathrooms, and the presence of a dishwasher or washing machine. Electric water heaters are easier to install and operate than gas or solar water heaters. The electric water heaters are very popular for their low purchase costs, relative safety, and simplicity to install and operate in comparison to gas or solar water heaters.
