A copper water heating element sits coiled against a white background.  What would we ever do without convenient hot water?  We use hot water all day long — from the hot shower in the morning that wakes us up and helps us greet the day, to the hot bath at the end of the day that relaxes us.  We use hot water for laundry, cooking, and cleaning.  Without a water heater, getting hot water for these uses would be much more time-consuming.  Before the invention of the hot water heater, our ancestors used fire to heat water.  Today, all you need is electricity or gas and a hot water heater.
