How to find the right instantaneous water heater for you?

Selecting the appropriate water heater can be daunting due to the variety available. To simplify the process, we’ve developed a checklist for choosing the right tankless water heater.

• Determine your water heating needs: Assess the volume of hot water you require by getting information on the flow rates of the fixtures that are being used.
• Calculate the required heating capacity: Calculate the required heating capacity by multiplying the flow rate of hot water needed (in liters per minute) by the desired temperature rise (in degrees Celsius) divided by a constant of 14.3. This will give you the heater’s capacity requirement in kilowatts (kW).
• Consider energy efficiency: Look for water heaters with high energy efficiency ratings. These ratings indicate how effectively the heater converts energy into hot water, ultimately affecting your utility bills. Look for heaters with an energy rating of A and energy-saving features such as modulating bare wire heating elements and electronic controls.
• Assess the available space: Measure the available space where the water heater will be installed. Instantaneous water heaters come in different sizes, and it’s important to choose one that fits your designated space.
• Check for safety features: Look for safety features such as overheat protection and anti-scald mechanisms. These features ensure the safe operation of the water heater and minimize the risk of accidents.
• Check for Quality certifications: Look for brands that manufacture tankless water heaters with all local and international quality certifications and command a strong build quality with excellent after-sales service in order to enjoy a trouble-free long life of the product.

Comparison between electronic instantaneous water heaters and hot water tanks (or conventional water heaters)

Instantaneous water heaters offer numerous advantages when directly compared to other decentralized systems like hot water storage tanks or conventional hydraulic water heaters.

Electronic tankless instantaneous water heaters vs. hydraulic instantaneous water heaters

By opting for an electronic instantaneous water heater instead of a hydraulic unit, significant annual savings can be achieved. These savings result from the improved energy efficiency and performance of electronic models compared to their hydraulic counterparts.

Electronic instantaneous water heaters feature precise temperature control with low switch-on flow rates, allowing users to enjoy the desired water temperature consistently and accurately. The Electronic instantaneous water heaters modulate the power output based on the user’s needs of flow rates and temperature. This efficient operation results in reduced energy consumption and lower associated costs. In contrast, hydraulic units rely on mechanical systems and don’t have precise temperature control, and always work on maximum power outputs, inspire of variable usage patterns of the user,  leading to significant energy wastage. As a result, their operational efficiency is lower compared to electronic models, and the user experience is uncomfortable on account of the hot and cold sandwiches which a user experiences while bathing.

Electronic tankless instantaneous water heaters vs. storage water heaters

Unlike conventional storage heaters, which require continuous heating and storage of water, instantaneous water heaters heat the water on demand, eliminating the need for a storage tank. As a result, they consume less water and space overall.

By adopting an electronic tankless instantaneous water heater, users can experience the combined benefits of reduced water consumption and no heat loss. These advantages translate into potential savings over time, allowing individuals to allocate their financial resources more efficiently without compromising their hot water needs.

Considering the long lifespan of water heaters and the continuous energy savings achieved with electronic models, it becomes apparent that the upfront costs of device replacement are quickly recouped through reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills.

Advantages of decentralized hot water supplies

Short water lines

With a decentralized hot water supply, the need for unnecessarily long water paths is eliminated. These paths often result in high water costs or significant heat losses from hot water circulation. By installing an electronic tankless instantaneous water heater directly at the point of use, hot water is readily available without any waiting time, ultimately saving both water and time.

Correct water temperature

Hot water storage tanks heat water to high temperatures above 65°C. However, for actual usage, lower temperatures are sufficient, such as 35°C for hand washing and 42°C for bathing. By using electronic instantaneous water heaters, water can be heated to the exact temperature needed at the point of use, eliminating the need for mixing with cold water. This decentralized approach is both more hygienic and efficient.

Correct amount of water

Typical hot water needs are often much smaller than expected. For instance, kitchen flushing typically requires 10 liters or less, while bathing requires around 120 to 130 litres, and showering only needs 30 to 50 liters. Handwashing at the sink can be done with as little as half a liter of water. Heating only the amount of water actually used at each tap using electronic tankless instantaneous water heaters is, therefore, a more efficient approach.
