Either it is winter or a stressful day at work, there is nothing so pleasant and comforting like hot showers. Most people love to have hot showers in the morning to get rid of the sleepy mood and get their senses activated and this is why, you need a hassle free, safe and economical option to get hot water. Instead of using a gas stove for heating that consumes much time, money and is hardly safe to handle, invest in a worthy and long lasting asset like a water heater or geyser.
But before you decide on buying some random geyser, you must have in-depth knowledge of what all features a geyser has and what kind of geyser you require. It must not only have elegant looks that match your bathroom’s design cues but also must have great utility features, easy accessibility, most modern features and easy maintenance procedures. Moreover, even different brands have their own goodwill, quality of service, cutting edge technologies and models having different combination of features.
So to clear your confusion regarding what all features you must look for in a water geyser, here are some important points that you must consider before getting this asset purchased:
1. Looks
If you are quite particular in terms of buying things that match your interiors, then look not only for matching colour but also check the size, shape and capacity to avoid any trouble in future.
2. Auto Off
The thermostat or auto off function is quite beneficial in water heaters. It not only saves energy in case you forget to switch it off after having hot showers, but it also prevents any accident that may occur due to over heating and burning out.
3. Energy Consumption
Though it is quite important that a geyser must quickly heat water but it should be energy efficient too. The cost of heating water should be more economical than the traditional means or else investing in such a technology will be a complete waste.
4. After Sales Service
Home appliance is a piece of technological device created by human and there is no guarantee that will operate in a trouble free manner for a lifetime. Even water heaters are sensitive machines and without proper maintenance, they may not function accurately. Buying geyser of a brand that assures you of seamless after sales service will relieve you of all sorts of concerns.
Apart from these features you also need to understand what type of water heater do you need – tank type geyser or tank-less geyser. While tank type heater is reasonably priced, has smaller power requirements and is adaptable to different power circuits, the tank-less geyser uses energy only when required, saves floor-space, assures continuous water supply and there is hardly any risk of damage in tank.
However there some disadvantages of both of these water heaters. Such as the tank type geyser uses energy periodically to keep the temperature consistent and hot water supply too is limited. On the contrary, the tank-less water heater is more expensive, consumes more power and causes wastage of water.
Now that you are aware of the key points to remember while purchasing a geyser, here is a compilation of the best water geyser brands in India that will not only enhance the beauty appeal of your bathroom but will also ensure highly advanced appliance at your service:
