Electric Geyser
Electric geysers are, to put plainly, convenient in comparison to their gas geyser counterparts. An electric geyser works with a copper coil which is used to convert electricity into heat energy, although these have changed over the years the fundamental working system has remained the same.
How electric geyser works
The flow of electricity conveys heat energy to the water contained in the tank and the water is then delivered all the way through the pipelines. It works on the convection principle. Which is better, a gas geyser or electric geyser now that you can identify the types of gas and electric geysers. Which is better, a gas geyser or an electric geyser will depend on a number of factors including:
- Cost of insulation
- Cost of buying the geyser
- Space requirement
- Efficiency and requirements of the geyser
- The life expectancy of the geyser
Electric geyser advantages
- You can install electric geysers nearly everyplace
- Electric geyser is easy to handle
- The energy source needed to heat the water is cheap
- No release of carbon monoxide because there is no burning of fuel
- Speed of heating is very fast
- Longer lifespan
Electric geyser disadvantages
- You need electricity to operate an electric geyser. Do read How to Reduce Geyser Electricity Consumption? for more information.
- It is highly expensive to buy and operate
- Short circuit blow-off can lead to possible danger
