Winter is here, and one of the first questions families ask is: should we buy a gas geyser or an electric geyser? Both heat water well. The right choice depends on your gas supply, your electricity bill and how much hot water your home uses.
Gas geysers
- Best when: your home has a steady natural gas (Sui gas) supply or you use LPG.
- Pros: heat water fast and usually cost less to run where gas is available.
- Things to check: gas pressure in your area during winter, safe installation with proper ventilation, and an ignition type that suits you.
Electric geysers
- Best when: gas pressure is low or unavailable in your area.
- Pros: simple installation, no gas line needed, and steady performance even when gas load-shedding happens.
- Things to check: wattage and your electricity bill, tank size, and wiring that can handle the load.
Instant geysers vs storage geysers
Instant geysers heat water as it flows, so they are compact and suit one or two bathrooms. Storage geysers keep a tank of hot water ready, which suits bigger families and several bathrooms.
Quick guide
- Good gas supply and a small family: an instant gas geyser.
- Good gas supply and a large family: a gas storage geyser.
- Low gas pressure: an electric geyser or a hybrid (gas plus electric) model.
