    Why is it called a hot water heater...and not a cold water heater?

    Question #19176. Asked by (.)--(.). (May 18 02 2:03 AM)

    		And what if the water was lukewarm? The reason is because hot water heater would sell better than cold-water heater it gives the feeling that the heater would produce boiling water the other one doesn't give this sense. In many languagues repeting a word is very common for emphasizing people sometimes connect the meaning of two words although it isn't necessary. Our senses work comparing data to previous data (that why in some situation it gives us the untrue data) because the heater heats water the action was connected to the state of the water.

    		We just call it a water heater so there is no problem. The problem is - if we call it a water heater why do we call other things electric or gas heaters? They should be called air heaters
