Choosing a type
- Electric. Easy to install, safe in sealed rooms, higher running cost.
- Gas. Lower running cost where gas exists, needs a flue.
- Solar. High upfront cost, lowest running cost.
- Instant. Compact, saves standby loss.
Capacity
Plan about 40 to 50 litres per person per day. One person needs 25 to 30 litres, and a family of five needs 100 to 200 litres or more. Oversizing wastes energy.
Running costs
Electric heating is the costliest, gas is cheaper where supplied and solar is cheapest over time. For a family, monthly costs can range from a few hundred rupees for solar-assisted systems to several thousand for electric ones.
Safety features
Look for a thermostat, thermal cut-out, pressure relief valve, flame failure device for gas and earthing for electric models. See gas geyser prices for ventilation rules.
Installation
Use licensed tradespeople, place the heater near the point of use to cut waste and insulate hot pipes. Gas and electrical work on a geyser must be done by licensed tradespeople, with proper ventilation and earthing.
How to choose
- Count users and outlets. To fix the size.
- Check energy supply. Gas or electricity.
- Compare running costs. Not just purchase price.
- Check safety and warranty. In writing.
What to check before buying
- Type. Matches supply
- Capacity. Fits use
- Safety parts. Present
- Warranty. Written
Total cost
A cheap heater with high running cost can cost more over five years than a pricier efficient one. Compare lifetime cost.
Before you decide
Count users, check your energy supply and compare lifetime cost. The best water heater is one that suits your home's gas, power and budget. Ask each seller to write down the capacity, the safety devices and the tank warranty, keep those papers with the receipt and ask the installer to leave the manual and the valve diagram in the room where the heater is fixed, so later servicing is straightforward.
