A compact appliance designed for providing hot water, typically for smaller households or point-of-use applications. It integrates heating elements within a ten-gallon tank and relies on electricity as its power source. This type of heater is often available for purchase at major home improvement retailers.
This appliance offers a solution for limited space scenarios where a large capacity water heater is impractical. Its electric operation enables installation without the need for gas lines, and the ten-gallon capacity suits applications with moderate hot water demands. Historically, such units have provided a localized and efficient alternative to central water heating systems.
