An electric water heater becomes the first choice for many who wish to add this add hot water comfort to their bathrooms. It has a clear advantage over gas-powered water heating in almost all situations. It has a cost advantage over fuel-fired ones when compared with cost components such as installation, maintenance, service life and effect on space conditioning loads.
Analysing the total cost of ownership and operation, it can be assuringly claimed that electric water heating often has an overall cost advantage. A fuel-fired small water heater presents a potential safety hazard mainly because of it emits flammable vapours. An electric geyser is safer compared to fuel-fired water heaters because they avoid the hazards and problems associated with using a combustion process to heat water.
Fuel-fired heaters installed in occupied spaces create the potential for the release of combustion products. The electronic variety, on the other hand, uses electricity as its fuel source and there is no question of releasing gases. Thus the electric variant helps in maintaining a very healthy indoor air quality.
Gas equipment is more maintenance intensive than the electric units because of their greater complexity and the combustion process. Burners and flues are subject to corrosion and mechanical damage. Larger systems require periodic checks and adjustment of the burners to avoid declined inefficiency. Roof penetrations for flues present potential leak points.
Being better insulated, electric resistance heaters have standby losses than fuel-fired units. Fuel-fired storage water heaters lose substantial amounts of heat through their flues and the un-insulated tank bottom.
The electronic counterpart is simple to use. Consequently, it happens to be the simplest and most convenient way to heat water in both residential and commercial buildings.
