What Is a Tank Water Heater?

Tank water heaters are commonly found in homes, and are comprised of an insulated tank, temperature and pressure valves, and some source of power. Tanks range anywhere from 30 to 80 gallons, with a 50-gallon size being the most common in the United States. Tank water heaters heat the full tank of water, and keep it heated between cycles; the water is kept hot by the insulated tank, and by the constant firing of the heating element.

What Are the Differences Between Gas and Electric Tank Water Heaters?

Gas water heaters utilize a gas fuel source – usually either natural gas or propane – to heat the water in the tank. Excess fuel exhaust and steam is carried away by a vent at the top of the heater. Electric water heaters simply plug into the electrical panel and utilize a thermostat and heating coil to effectively heat the water inside the tank.

What Are Benefits of Tank Water Heaters?

Typically, tank water heaters have a lower up-front cost than tankless water heaters. In addition, these tanks are very common, and their simple operations allow for relatively easy, inexpensive repairs. Tank water heaters can last upwards of 15 years if properly maintained.
