During the winter, we don't really like to take a bath. Not only in winter, but during the rainy season we try to avoid using cold water as much as possible. But nothing feels like bliss than taking a bath with hot water. To get hot water most of us install geysers at home. To answer the question, what is a geyser water heater, I would say a geyser is an electrical gadget which provides hot water via taps.

Call a plumber at your doorsteps and get your geyser fixed in no time! Expert electricians from NoBroker are here to fix your appliances at your doorstep.

Now that we know the geyser definition, I would like to state two types of geysers I have seen available in the market.

The two types of geysers are:

Instant Geysers
Storage Geysers

Instant geysers give limited hot water supply all at one time. The instant geysers can store up to 3 litres of water and you can install instant geysers water for bathroom, kitchen or other household purposes.

On the other hand, storage geysers can store water after heating and you can use the warm water throughout the day. Storage geysers are ideal for a family of four.

Now, that I have explained about the two types of geysers, I will share the difference with you as well.
