The hotwater service system in a house comes with three major parts such as water heater, hot water pipes, and taps. While hotwater services are great in minimizing human efforts, we must also take note of the fact that they are the biggest source of emitting greenhouse gases that adversely affect the ambiance. But then again, we can’t let go of the hotwater services in light of their huge contribution to our everyday life. 

How the Hot Water Services Work?

Most of the energy used to heat up the water is through natural gas, then comes the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), solar radiators, and electricity. Water heaters which work on electricity are the best appliance to provide hot water services in households. If the environmental hazards need to be controlled and reduced then it is beneficial to switch the usage of electricity to heat up water, rather than start using renewable sources of energy. 

When these hot water services are installed in a household then three things must be kept in mind. These three things are as follows:

1. The size of the appliance

2. The climate of the area

3. The pattern in which water is used

4. The dimensions of the house

If the hot water services are efficiently used then it could be adding value to the home and also in promoting the government’s regulations. We all know that in a house water supply is necessary for three main grounds--firstly due to the most amount of hot water is required in the bathroom, and then for the laundry purpose and also in the kitchen. If the household needs to reduce their amounts of bill then it is important to install efficient and energy saver taps and showers. These appliances not just save money but also save the amount of energy used to get heated. Although there could be even changes in the user’s behavior, the user may start using cold water for washing utensils and clothes. Then he/she may take shower for a short period of time. 

There are two types of water heaters. One could be the storage one and the other could be the continuous flowing systems. These systems either use electricity or natural gas to heat up. So, let’s explain them in detail now. 

• Storage Heaters: In this type of hot water service, heated water is stored in tanks that are insulated from the inside and used as and when required. These systems work on two actions, either on the main pressure or the gravitational force.
  
  
• The Main Pressure: The hot and cold water is released with the same pressure and same outlet. There is a storage tank installed at the floor level of the house. This system is the most popular and in-demand among the customers. Only one disadvantage could be that the tanks suffer from heat losses and as a result, the fittings could get loose.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Gravitational Force: In this, the tanks are installed at the roof of the house, and as an outcome when the taps are opened to use then the gravitational force automatically gushes the water downwards. These tanks are made up of materials like copper, stainless steel, or enamel. The reason behind using these materials is that it reduces the chances of corrosion.
  
  
• Constant Flowing Heaters: These hot water services do not store water in any tank. So it does not involve any heat loss. These directly work on electricity and natural gases. The users can never get a shortage of hot water in this system. Another point to remember is that these devices are manufactured with a control system. So that water from the taps could come with desirable temperature according to the user’s needs. 

All the above-mentioned points are very important to keep in mind before installing a new hot water system or replacing the old one. Safety measures should also be followed to avoid problems in the future. Saving the environment is the manufacturer’s priority, so there are many different heaters in the present market that involve new technologies and uses eco-friendly sources of heating water.
