Geyser electricity cost guide comparing storage geyser instant geyser and 24 hour waste
The most important geyser input is heating minutes, not just tank size. Watch the indicator light to estimate real runtime.
Total minutes the heating indicator light is ON.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many watts is a geyser?

A standard 15-litre or 25-litre storage geyser in India typically consumes 2000 Watts (2 kW). Instant geysers (1L-3L) consume 3000 Watts to 4500 Watts.

Should I keep the geyser on 24/7?

No. Leaving a storage geyser on 24/7 wastes a lot of electricity because the thermostat will repeatedly turn the heating element on to maintain water temperature as it naturally cools down.

Which is better, instant or storage geyser?

Instant geysers use more power per minute but are on for a very short time. Storage geysers use less power per minute but run longer. Overall, instant geysers are slightly more energy-efficient for quick showers, while storage geysers are better for bucket baths.
