You do use hot water that comes out from a water heater, but you do not know how the water is heated. It is necessary to know how it works as it will help you fix some problems in the future. The working of an electric water heater may seem complex, but it is indeed simple. Here is what goes on inside an electric water heater while heating cold water:

Tank
The tank is the most visible part of your electric water heater. It is that long cylinder which is usually a few feet high and around 20-25 inches in diameter. While the exterior part of the tank is metallic, the interior is made up of glass. This is because glass does not corrode with water. Between these two parts, there is a layer of insulation for efficiency purposes. 

Cold Inlet
The water comes from the mainline into the unit through this supply line. It enters the unit from top.
Dip TubeThe cold water from the supply line then passes through the dip tube. This tube delivers the cold water to the bottom of the unit.

Heating Elements
Electric water heaters use burners to heat water. Some water heaters may have one heating element, while some may have two: one to heat from the top and one to heat from the bottom. All the heating elements work together to heat the water efficiently.

Thermostat
The thermostat regulates the water temperature and turns the water heater on and off. If the water heater has two heating elements, it will also have two thermostats. 

Anode Rod
Anode rod is also known as the sacrificial rod. The purpose of this tiny pole on the inside of the unit is to prevent corrosion. The pole is made from stainless steel and is coated with magnesium, zinc, or aluminium. 

Hot Water Outlet
This is the supply line that carries the hot water out of the unit and delivers it to all the taps in your home. It is located at the top of the unit.
​

These are the components of an electric water heater that should be in proper working condition to satisfy your hot water needs. When any of these components stop working, you cannot heat water. To know more about the working and maintenance of your electric water heater, you should get in touch with the professional technicians as they have the proper knowledge about the different types of hot water tanks in Edmonton.

Thinking about getting a new water heater for the house you just shifted to but are unsure which one to pick? Your relative suggests a storage water heater. Your friends, on the other hand, suggests the latest tankless water heater in town. Which one would be the best?

If you go to look at it, tankless water heaters are way beneficial than storage ones. So what really is special about these water heaters?

Lifespan
One of the greatest benefits of tankless water heaters is that they last really long. Once you setup a tankless water heater, you don’t need to worry about anything else. While a typical tank water heater is supposed to last 10 to 13 years, tankless water heaters are estimated to last up to 20 years. The compact size of the tankless water heater takes less space than the conventional takes and is versatile. This means you can fix a tankless water heater anywhere in the house.

Cost Savings
Although you will have to spend money to install the tankless water heater system, in the long-term - you will save. While it’s going to cost you to get the best water heater in town and all its plumbing properly fitted, however your operating costs down the line should make up for it.

Energy Efficient
What you're saving on is in not having to spend money on standby heat, meaning you're not wasting money heating water in a tank that's just sitting idly waiting for someone to need hot water. Tankless systems provide that hot water on demand, instantaneously, when you need it. This way, you don't have to waste energy heating unused water then it cools down, then again heating it when necessary. This will help you lower your utility bill.

Endless Supply of Hot Water
The unit brings into play a certain reliability factor. If you have the right size unit, it can effortlessly deliver a continuous supply of water at preset temperature levels. This could be as much as 5 to 7 gallons of hot water per minute. They simply never run out of water. It will let you take full advantage of your Roman bath or Jacuzzi tub. Also, you could take a shower while your dishwasher and laundry are going on.

No Cold-Shower Mornings Anymore
Finally, the best of them all. Maybe you have a lot of people in your house who use a lot of hot water or you are the first one to get up and you hate waiting for the water to heat. Everyone hates to get into a cold water shower first thing in the morning, especially during a winter morning. A 50-gallon electric water heater can take over an hour to completely recover the hot water. With a tankless water heater, the water is heated as and when you need it. Get up and just jump into that shower!

Get a tankless water heater installed today. The benefits of a tankless water heater are way better compared to a storage water heater, be it in terms of costs or energy, you name it. If you need any help setting up your tankless water heater system, contact Hot Water Tanks Edmonton today.
