What is a Water Heater?

A water heater is responsible for heating the water to a certain temperature. The water's temperature might depend on how hot or cold it is in a small area or how much electricity is being used. It also depends on the type of water heater that you have.

In a simpler definition, a water heater stores heated water so it can be used later and heats the cold tap water to make it warm so we can shower.

Water heaters are usually unvented, meaning they don’t have an exhaust vent. The mechanism of the device is to raise the temperature of the water with natural gas or electricity. So this way, you can control heating by turning down the flame.

In most cases, these devices have a thermal mass and can retain heat for more than 24 hours without any power input from an outside source. At night, when there's no energy consumption for home appliances and lights, it can keep your hot water waiting for you to take a shower in the morning.

Does HVAC Include Water Heater?

Your HVAC system has a dedicated heating element. A water heater seems to do about the same thing. If you don't know how these two appliances work, you might be wondering if a water heater is part of an HVAC system.



Most HVAC systems don't come with a water heater. The water heater is a part of your house’s plumbing system. But an HVAC system with a water heater is a hybrid water heater, a heat pump water heater, or a boiler that can simultaneously provide heat and hot water.
