How They Work. A single-family storage water heater offers a ready reservoir -- from 20 to 80 gallons -- of hot water. It operates by releasing hot water from the top of the tank when you turn on the hot water tap. To replace that hot water, cold water enters the bottom of the tank through the dip tube where it is heated, ensuring that the tank ...
To improve efficiency, ENERGY STAR certified electric storage water heaters use a highly efficient heat pump – essentially a refrigerator run in reverse – to transfer heat from the surrounding air to the water. They are referred to as heat pump water heaters (HPWHs). Figure 1: Annual Energy Costs for an Electric Storage Water Heater (4 ...
How a Water Heater Heats Water. The dip tube feeds cold water from your home''s water lines to the bottom of the tank''s interior, where the water starts to warm up. The heating mechanism — either a burner or an element — stays on until the water reaches temperature. As the water heats, it rises to the top of the tank.
