Water heater heats cold water to make hot water (typically 120 degrees)

Hot water heater heats hot water to make hotter water for kitchen or tea spouts. (120 to 140 degrees)

Two things you can't do on Tigerdroppings.com. call a Magazine a clip or call a water heater a hot water heater.

All naysayers are wrong though. They are hot water heaters.

119 degree water [temperature my hot water heater kicks on] is hot. My hot water heater heats my hot water up to an even hotter 140 degrees before it turns off.

I'm open to any counter arguments on the matter

knew this was coming LOL

do you have a water heater to get the water up to 119 and then a hot water heater from 119 to 140?

or does your water come out your outside hose (hose pipe for those that call their water heaters hot water heaters) at 119?

I'll agree. I personally call them HWHs but this board hates that term.
They hate clip too.

Louis Mechanical


I am sure they are a great company, but when I had my two water heaters removed, and installed a tankless water heater, Louis Mechanical was nearly 60 % a minimum higher than my two other bids, for the same tankless water heater.

5. Pull out.


If you have plenty of attic space, just leave the old one up there.

This is who I used for mine. Sam offered the best price, and the installation was top-notch.
