Electric Water Heater
An electric water heater is a storage tank that heats water using electric resistances. It functions as a hot water accumulator, maintaining the desired temperature until needed.
Gas Water Heater
A gas water heater heats water instantly without storing it, using natural gas, butane, or propane. It only activates when a hot water tap is opened.
Boiler
A boiler is a more complete system, providing both domestic hot water (DHW) and home heating through radiators or underfloor heating. It typically runs on gas or diesel.
