Asia-Pacific water Heater Market – Overview

Water heaters are devices that heat water and maintain it at a higher temperature for a prolonged period. They serve the crucial goal of providing a consistent and ongoing supply of water. They can be powered by electricity or gas, with gas water heaters offering quicker heating and electric variants often costing less. Hot water heaters used in homes that warm potable water for uses other than space heating are referred to as domestic hot water heaters (DHW). Tankless water heaters are one of the more recent technologies. Since they are electric, no water storage system is needed.
