Choosing between an instant geyser and a storage geyser depends on your hot water needs and household size. Instant geysers heat water on demand, making them energy-efficient and ideal for small spaces due to their compact size. However, they can have a higher initial cost and limited flow rate, which might not be suitable for larger households. On the other hand, storage geysers store and heat a significant amount of water, ensuring a steady supply for multiple users. While they consume more energy to maintain water temperature, they are generally more cost effective to install.

Frequently asked questions

Which one is better: a storage or an instant geyser?
The choice between a storage geyser and an instant geyser depends on your household needs. Instant geysers are ideal for small households or spaces with limited usage, providing hot water on demand and saving energy. Storage geysers, on the other hand, are better suited for larger families with higher hot water needs, offering a continuous supply of hot water for multiple uses simultaneously.
Does an instant geyser consume more electricity?
Instant geysers are generally more energy-efficient than storage geysers. They heat water only when needed, which reduces overall electricity consumption. However, if used frequently or for long periods, the electricity usage can add up. In contrast, storage geysers continuously consume energy to maintain the water temperature.
What are the disadvantages of instant geysers?
Instant geysers, while efficient, have some disadvantages. They typically have a higher initial cost and may need more hot water for large households or multiple simultaneous uses. The flow rate can also be limited, making them less suitable for tasks requiring large volumes of hot water at once.
What happens if an instant geyser is on for a long time?
If an instant geyser is left on for a long time, it continuously heats water as it flows through the unit. This can lead to higher electricity consumption and potential wear and tear on the heating elements. It is advisable to turn off the geyser when not in use to prevent unnecessary energy usage and prolong the appliance's lifespan.
