Propane Water Heaters 101: How Do They Work?
Ever wondered what’s going on inside that big metal tank? Here’s the lowdown:
- Fuel Power: Propane, a clean-burning fuel, is stored in your tank.
- Burn, Baby, Burn: When you turn on a hot water faucet, the propane burner ignites.
- Heat Transfer: This burner heats a tank of water.
- Delivery: The hot water travels through pipes to your faucets and appliances.
Pretty cool, right? Now that you know the basics, let’s explore how to make this process as efficient as possible.
