Why are Water Heaters So Expensive?

I kind of thought that hot water was something everyone should have.  I guess you can say I took for granted that I would always have it.  I never really gave water heaters a second thought.  However, when my water heater just stopped working one day, I definitely started thinking about it.  In fact, I went shopping for a new one and became consumed with water heaters.  I quickly realized that they were very expensive and that I would have a very hard time affording a new one.  I think it’s a shame that they are so expensive.  I went two weeks without hot water until I could save enough to buy one.
