Geyser power consumption: a hypothesis

Use of geysers is popular for bathing in cold weather. With the help of geyser, water gets heated quickly. But do you know how much impact it can have on your electricity bill? The power consumption of a geyser depends on various factors, such as its capacity, temperature setting and usage time. Let us know how much electricity the geyser consumes.

Geyser power consumption in one hour

The wattage of a geyser generally ranges from 1500W to 3000W, depending on its size. If you have a 2000W geyser and it works for an hour, it will consume approximately 2 units of electricity. If the electricity rate in your area is Rs 8 per unit, then the cost of one hour will be around Rs 16. If the geyser is operated for 1-2 hours daily, the monthly expenditure can be up to Rs 500-600.

Reasons that increase power consumption

Geyser consumption does not depend only on wattage. It is also important how it heats the water. Storage geysers keep water hot for a longer period of time, which results in requiring more electricity for frequent switching on. At the same time, instant geyser is more effective for small families, as it heats water faster and saves more electricity.

temperature setting

The temperature setting of the geyser also affects the power consumption. If the temperature is set to 75-80°C, it draws more power than 55-60°C. Therefore, always try to heat water at a moderate temperature.

water quality

Water quality also affects electricity consumption. In areas with hard water, scaling forms quickly in geysers, which reduces heating capacity and increases power consumption. In this situation, it is important to do regular descaling.
