What Is Tank Water Heater?
A tank (or storage) water heater keeps a reservoir of hot water ready in a pressurized tank, typically 30 to 50 gallons. It is the most common water heater in Southern Riverside County homes and is usually the least expensive to install, though it has a limited first-hour supply and loses heat while idling.
Key Facts About Tank Water Heater
