What is an Electric Water Heater?
An electric water heater uses electric heating elements inside a storage tank to heat and maintain your home’s hot water supply. When you turn on a tap, hot water is delivered from the tank through your plumbing system. Electric models are reliable, efficient, and widely used in homes throughout British Columbia.
