A water heater refers to a device that uses certain physical principles to increase the temperature of cold water into hot water within a certain period of time. In autumn and winter, the weather is cold and the temperature of water is very high. Therefore, having a water heater will make home life warmer and more comfortable. But how to choose a good household water heater is a difficult thing, because there are many types and brands of water heaters on the market.
According to the different principles of hot water, water heaters can be mainly divided into four types: electric water heaters, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, and air energy water heaters.
Common types of household water heaters
1. Electric water heater
Electric water heaters mainly use electric energy as energy for heating. Its use is not affected by the weather and is easy to install and use, but it takes up a lot of space, and it can heat a tank of water at a time, and the heating cannot be continued after use.
2. Gas water heater
Gas water heater is the first choice of many households with natural gas pipelines. It uses gas as energy, occupies a small area and has a fast heating speed. When in use, the water volume is stable and the temperature is constant. There are also certain security risks.
3. Solar water heater
Compared with other types of water heaters, solar water heaters have absolute advantages in terms of energy saving. Its structure makes full use of natural environmental conditions, reduces power consumption and protects the environment. Difficult, compared with other types of installation, there are more restrictions.
4. Air energy water heater
Air energy water heater is a new type of water heater that is gradually emerging. It uses an air compressor to heat water. It has a large amount of water and can be customized, but the heating speed is slow and the temperature cannot rise too high, and the cost is higher than ordinary water heaters.
Electric water heaters are more convenient, but follow-up electricity costs are more; gas water heaters are more cost-effective, but have lower safety guarantees; solar water heaters have low energy consumption, but are greatly affected by the weather; high. The four main water heater products have their own advantages and disadvantages. When purchasing, you need to choose the most suitable product according to your own situation.
