water heater

Hot tap source

A water heater is an appliance that heats and stores water for household use—showers, dishwashing, laundry.

Most are tank-style units that keep water hot continuously; tankless models heat water on demand.

The water heater's pilot light went out.

We need to replace the water heater before winter.
