Water Heater: Repair & Maintenance

What Is a Water Heater?

Domestic hot water, or its acronym D.H.W., means heated water for human use. That means anything that you do at home, from showering to cleaning the dishes, uses domestic hot water.

Because of the need to use hot water every day, you need a water heater. These devices basically get cold water from different sources and heat it. They can be unvented (working directly from the mains water supply) and vented (with an open outlet and generally used for a single sink).

However, that’s just the beginning. YourPro professionals are proficient with the many different systems available in Ireland, such as heat pumps, storage water heaters and tankless or on-demand. They can also use gas, oil or electricity. As you can see, a myriad of factors come into play when detecting and solving problems.
