    If people don't like hot water heaters, they should try a cold water heater. The difference is amazing.

      cold water heater sounds much better cause hot water doesn't need to be heated unless you want to boil it

      Water that was 180° and is now 200° is still hot, and has had heat added.
      In this example a hot water heater added heat to hot water.

      For northern houses with boilers for steam radiators, 'hot water heater' is the unit (the subject of this video) that supplies hot water to the faucets. Different from the boiler. It sounds redundant like 'ATM machine' but its not. Think of it like "hot water" heater. If you just say water heater for a house that has both units it could mean either the boiler or the HWH so I think that's where the term HWH came from. In the south we just call them water heaters since we have no boilers.
