Best Geysers / Water Heaters in India in 2022 Reviews & Buyer's Guide
Table of Contents
Although electricity consumption of water heater or geyser depends on the amount of hot water used (as discussed in our link: Choose the right sized water heater/geyser for electricity saving), standing loss can be an important factor while deciding which water heater to buy. “Standing loss” or heat/energy loss of a water heater to the surrounding in 24 hours is an important factor used by BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) to decide on star rating of a water heater. Using hot water optimally and choosing the right sized heater can minimize “Standing Loss”, but the most efficient water heater for a given size can assist in minimizing losses. Most sources on the Internet provide details on features and reviews. Electricity consumption hardly becomes the deciding factor. To help people make electricity consumption as deciding factor, we at Bijli Bachao have decided to put up a list of Best Geysers / Water Heaters in India in 2022. But before that let’s look at Best Brands for Water Heaters / Geysers in India. To know about the latest technologies in water heaters in India click here.

 If you are looking for a water heater for your bathroom and it will be used mostly for bucket baths or short showers (especially in cities that are not too cold like in North India), or if you are looking for a water heater for the kitchen in a cold city (e.g places in North India), then Havells Instanio 6 Liter is a great choice for you. This BEE 5 star rated water heater has an extremely low standing loss of 0.291 units/24 hours.

Electricity consumption depends on the volume of water used). This water heater has good PUF insulation which provides good heat retention capability. It can withstand high pressure (8 bar) which is a great feature to have if you live in a high rise building. It has high pressure and temperature cutout for providing safety. It has Whirlflow technology which prevents the mixing of hot and cold water inside the geyser. The heating element, as well as the tank, are glass coated for excellent corrosion protection. Additionally, it has a magnesium anode to protect the tank and heating element from corrosion. This model also comes with a Shock Safe plug to prevent any electric shock incident. It comes with a 7-year warranty on the tank, 2-year comprehensive warranty, and 4-year warranty on the heating element. |

The Basis of this ranking:
- The basis of this ranking is the data from BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency). BEE data contains standing loss of a water heater and this information is self reported by the manufacturers. The data is calculated in test conditions.
- We have taken the data on standing loss and categorized it by the capacity or volume of the water heater. The water heater with the least value of standing loss units/lts is given the highest ranking. Multiple models with the same value are given the same rank.
- The list above contains only the top ten ranked water heaters. List of all BEE star rated water heaters are available on the useful links given below.
- We regularly update this list as new models get added in the BEE list of water heaters.
