Report Scope
A water heater is a device that heats water for domestic and commercial uses. It operates by converting energy from a source such as electricity, gas or solar power into thermal energy, which heats the water. This heated water is then stored in a tank or heated on demand in instant heaters and made available for use. Water heaters find extensive applications in both residential and commercial settings. In homes, they provide hot water for bathing, cleaning dishes, laundry and other household chores. Additionally, they are essential for cooking, especially in areas where gas stoves are not prevalent. Commercial applications such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants and laundries rely on water heaters for various processes, including cleaning equipment, sterilizing tools, and heating materials.
