Facts About Water Heaters You May Not Know

12/13/2022

 
Picture
The daily use of water heaters is taken for granted in many homes. We often notice them when the hot water runs out, especially when we shower.

​You can know What are signs of plumbing issues on our website. We at American Plumbing Repair would like to share a few interesting water heater-related statistics with you that you might not be aware of:

1. Energy Use
Your water heater is responsible for around one-fourth of the energy used in your house to heat water for laundry, showers, dishwashing, and other uses. A typical American home uses 80 to 120 gallons of hot water each day.

2. The First Model
In 1868, a painter in London discovered how to heat cold water by inserting gas burners at the base of the water pipes. This discovery gave rise to the concept of a water heater.

​Edwin Ruud, a mechanical engineer from Norway, was motivated to develop the first tank-style water heater and introduce the concept to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

3. Water heater explosions
Rare but natural, the hot water heater explosion myth. A water heater could explode, but there are easy measures to avoid that from happening. In addition to checking for rust and gas leak odors, these involve adjusting the pressure and temperature.

4. The Lifespan of Water Heaters
A tank water heater typically lasts between 10 and 13 years, while a tankless water heater lasts between 18 and 20 years.

5. An eco-friendly Choice
Using geothermal alternatives, you may be green and do away with the conventional water heater. Geothermal energy warms your water by utilizing the heat from the earth.

7. Water Use
A typical individual will use 6–8 gallons of water for a shower, 15–20 gallons for a bath, 20–30 gallons for a load of laundry, 2–4 gallons per minute for washing dishes, and 6–10 gallons per load for a dishwasher.
