How do people get the hot water in your area?

[Edwin]

Hi all,
Due to serial rainy days,made the water in my solar water heater tank at a low temperature.So i have to use the e-heating fan while taking a bath.

My question is how do people get the hot water in your family or country?Is solar water heater the most preferred for it?

Thanks,

Edwin

So far in Japan we use mostly gas. Solar in Malaysia.

In my part of the United States, most people use gas water heaters in their homes. The newest ones are very efficient on-demand water heaters that don't waste gas.

In much of Eastern Europe, the hot water is piped into people's houses from a central water heating plant that is run by the city. This usually works fine, but twice a year, on the coldest day of spring or fall, they shut this plant down for maintenance, and everyone freezes at home for a whole weekend.

Although we supposedly get more sunshine in Spain than anywhere else in Europe, very few homes have solar heating systems, since solar energy is prohibitively expensive.

Heating oil (called 'gasoil' here) or gas are most widely used:

I have no idea but my apartment doesn't have any gas and if I take really long hot showers my power bill goes way up so......electricity?
