What is Gas Geyser?

When we compare electric geysers vs gas geysers, the most important difference is their energy source.

  • They can run on both, pipeline natural gas and through household gas cylinders 
  • Ideal for large families

  • Since they don’t require power to run, they can be used anywhere, anytime 

Disadvantages

What is an Electric Geyser?

 

If you are wondering how does electric geysers work, the answer is in the name as these types of geysers run on electricity and because of this reason, they have become a preferred choice in most urban homes. Electric geysers use a copper coil that converts electricity into heat that helps heat the water in your bathroom. Within the world of electric geysers, there are many different types of geysers like instant ones, electric storage geysers, heating rod types and many more depending on the use of geysers.

2. They are easy to install and handle 
3. Because of electricity, they heat water very quickly 
4. They tend to be safer as there is no direct fuel involved 
5. The energy source is relatively cheap 
6. They have a long life span and are durable 

Disadvantages

1. Because of how electric geysers work, they need a constant power source to run. In case of power failure, the use of these geyers is hampered. 
2. When we compare electric geysers vs gas geysers, electric ones tend to be more expensive to purchase, operate and maintain.
