A storage water heater heats up cold water and stores it in its insulated tank to keep it warm for a period of time. It also reheats occasionally when the temperature drops. As a result, a storage water heater typically uses up more energy than an instant water heater.
Storage heaters also take up a lot of space due to their bulky size, capable of storing 30 to 100 litres of water. Instant water heaters are more compact and heat up water on demand.
Whether you choose an instant or a storage water heater mostly depends on your budget, your household’s water consumption, your showering habits, and your preferred bathroom aesthetic.
