Can a water heater be used to supply water to baseboard heating?

Yes. You might want to check to see what recommended temperature is for water entering the baseboard units and insure the water heater will meet that. Something else to consider is that there will need to be a pump in the water circuit to circulate the water. A tank type water heater would also work to store hot water until needed by the baseboard units in an instance where heat might be generated at a time not needed by the baseboard units.

What is electric water heater which used in house?
An electric water heater in a hot tank is called an immersion heater and many of those run at 3 kW with a thermostat to control the max temperature. Power showers use a type of water heater that heats the water at the point where it is used, without a tank. They run at 6-8 kW and are also controlled by a thermostat.
Electricity used for space heater?
Electricity is used in some space heaters directly to create heat by resistance. Electric current is passed thru a coiled wire or long metal ribbon made of a metal with a high resistance. Resistance is to electricity as friction is to movement. Rub your hands together, and they heat up from friction. In a similar way, as electri ity is resisted by the wire or ribbon, the metal heats up, and then radiates into the surrounding air.
Examples of electrical resistance?
Good examples of electrical resistance would be an electrical baseboard heater, electric hot water tank and an electrical kettle. All of these devices use a resistive element to create heat.
What to do when you hear water running in baseboard heating?
That means there is air in the lines and must be bled out.

Is half inch water line sufficient for water supply for forced hot water baseboard heat?
Yes, 1/2 inch supply to fill boiler will work fine. Piping going to baseboard heaters needs to be sized properly. 1/2 inch piping to baseboard heaters not recommended. Most hot water baseboard heaters piped with 3/4 pipe.

Is it called a hot water heater or water heater?
It's because "hot-water" is a compound adjective, modifying "heater". It's not for heating water, it's for heating a house with hot water. There are many types of heaters that heat water, but only a hot-water heater is used for providing heated water for domestic use. A hydronic boiler also heats water, but it's only for use in radiators.The name "Hot Water Heater" is completely wrong for any use. There is no need to heat hot water. IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.
