Instantaneous Hot Water Heaters Diamond Head

Instantaneous hot water heaters use electricity to heat water. Some models use natural or propane gas. They work in the same basic way. Cold water enters the unit and is heated by the heat exchanger or the heating elements which are turned on by a flow activated switch. The heat elements can be electric resistance heating coils or a gas burner which employs natural gas or propane. The water keeps flowing; it is heated in the pipes and reaches the user at the time when the tap is in function. There are three things to consider while sizing up a unit: volume of water required to be heated, the temperature of cold water entering the unit, and the desired temperature of hot water leaving the unit. There are two types of instantaneous hot water heaters in use: point-of-use and whole house.
