Types of Water Heaters

1. Electric Water Heater

Electric water heaters work by warming inside out by heating rods. Its names say it uses electricity to operate and is a bit higher in price than gas water heaters but more efficient. The best electric water heater can be different for different people. There are two main categories available in electric water heaters.

• Storage Water Heaters

A Storage water heater is an appliance that stores warm water in its storage tank for the future and maximizes heating capacity. It heats the water in a large volume that takes more time than an instant water heater is heating the water, but it can provide hot water for a long time. They are the most commonly used bathroom heater. It has different shapes and capacities, ranging from 5 liters to 50, 100, and beyond. It comes in two forms: horizontal and vertical. The most commonly used is a vertical one. Mainly it depends on the ceiling and also water pressure.

It’s for those who want instant heater water for those who have to go early in the morning for their work as it heated the water and then retained it for a more extended period through its high-density PUF insulation technology.

• Instant Water Heaters

As its names suggest, it delivers instant hot water. It works very well for kitchen purposes to wash dishes and that kind of stuff, but I would say it is suitable for bathing in those that have not much chillin days.

It saves energy and electricity as they do not store warm water, which may not be used.

2. Gas Water Heaters

A gas water heater operates on LPG and is highly efficient, and has low maintenance and weight. It saves a lot of your money by saving electricity as the other water heaters take a lot of electricity to operate.

It works on sensors. When you open a tap, a sensor detects the operation, and the hot burners fire and the heat start exchanging. But it has some safety issues. That’s why very few brands manufactured gas water heaters.

Wrap Up

So these are the main categories of bathroom heater which the majority of household use. So I would suggest buying that water heater that suits your situation. If you have small children in your home, don’t go for a gas water heater considering its safety risks other two categories good to go. I am using storage water heaters for many years, and it works well other than times when you need to go urgently, and you forget to open the geyser before. So every water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. I would say your habits also come into considerations while choosing a water heater.
