water heaters
Domestic hot supply
Water heaters are appliances that heat and store water for domestic use—showers, dishwashing, laundry.
Most homes have a tank-style heater that keeps water hot continuously, though tankless models heat on demand.
The water heater's in the basement.
We need to replace the water heater before winter.
