While winters might be a welcome change for many, but it does come with its woes. However, the need to keep ourselves warm during this season increases. This season also increases the demand for water heaters or geysers since thinking of taking a bath with cold water can never be an option! However, choosing the accurate sized water heater is extremely important because the amount of electricity consumed by water heaters depend a lot on the usage of hot water. It basically works on the principle of ‘lesser the hot water used, less is the electricity consumed’. Therefore, it is imperative to choose the optimum sized water heater that suffices the required needs. Having said this, electric instant water heater comes across as the most ideal solution as they do not have the facility of storing water. However, electricity consumption too is another important factor to be taken into consideration when buying an electrical appliance for your home.

Firstly, let us understand what exactly instant water heaters are. Instant water heaters are the type of heaters which has small storage capacity and high heating rate. The reason behind calling them ‘instant’ is because of its criterion of ‘low storage volume and high heating rate’, which enables them to provide hot water almost ‘instantly’. However, talking in terms of normal water heaters, it is crucial to take into account its first-hour-rating and gallons-per-minute rating as this is how one can decipher the amount of hot water delivered over a set period of time. According to the new efficiency standards, water heaters which are under 55 gallons or more will see a boost of about 4 percent in its efficiency. And the ones which are 55 gallons or more will witness a cut of 25 to 50 percent in its utility bills depending on the technology used.

Similarly, the geysers that are available today in the market not only has the mammoth capacity of carrying 25l, but they also are aesthetically pleasing, which will enhance the look of your bathing space. Now coming to the most important factor that one needs to consider while buying any appliance – the cost. The instant water heaters cost more than the regular storage water heaters. This is because the instant models require electrical outlets for their functioning. Therefore, with the best-in-class technology and design, the prices of geysers today may range from 8k to 15k. Although there are various brands offering geysers at very nominal rates (2500-5000), but the choice of being a smart buyer is yours. If you want to invest in a good deal, it is wiser to go for a product which will remain functional in the long run. Therefore, the geyser price are not only affordable but also are energy-efficient.
