Ensuring a Reliable Hot Water Supply: Installing a Gas Geyser with an Electric Backup

As energy costs continue to rise, many homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their electricity consumption without compromising their comfort. One effective solution is installing a gas geyser as the primary source of hot water. By integrating the gas geyser into your existing water reticulation system while keeping the electric geyser as a backup, you can achieve significant savings while ensuring an uninterrupted hot water supply.

How the Installation Works

When installing a gas geyser, we utilize your property’s existing water reticulation system to ensure minimal disruptions and cost-effective implementation. Here’s a breakdown of how we set up the system:

1. Gas Geyser as the Primary Hot Water Source:

• The gas geyser is installed at a strategic location where it can efficiently supply hot water to all outlets in the house.
• The existing cold water supply line is connected to the gas geyser, ensuring it has a continuous feed of water.
• The hot water output from the gas geyser is then linked to the existing hot water supply line of the house.

2. Switching Off the Electric Geyser at the DB Board:

• To maximize savings, the electric geyser is switched off at the distribution board (DB) to prevent unnecessary electricity consumption.
• This means the electric geyser will not heat water unless manually switched on when required.

3. Electric Geyser as a Backup System:

• The electric geyser remains installed and operational but remains off under normal conditions.
• If the gas geyser fails or if the gas cylinders run out, you can simply switch the electric geyser back on from the DB board.
• This setup ensures that you never have to worry about running out of hot water unexpectedly.

Energy Savings and Cost Reduction

Electric geysers are among the biggest consumers of electricity in a household, accounting for about 50% of the total electricity bill. By switching to a gas geyser, homeowners can reduce their electricity consumption significantly. On average, this transition can lead to savings of up to 25% on your monthly electricity bill.

Why Choose a Gas Geyser?

• Instant Hot Water: Unlike electric geysers that require time to heat a full tank, gas geysers provide hot water on demand. Interested in how a gas geyser works, please click on this link: https://www.hotwater24.com/news/how-does-a-tankless-gas-water-heater-works
• Lower Operational Costs: Gas is generally more cost-effective than electricity, especially with rising electricity tariffs.
• Reduced Load on the Electrical System: With load shedding and power outages being a common concern, a gas geyser reduces the grid demand as electric geysers are replaced.
• Eco-Friendly Option: Gas geysers produce fewer carbon emissions compared to coal-powered electricity generation.

Conclusion

By installing a gas geyser as your primary water heating system and keeping your electric geyser as a backup, you get the best of both worlds: lower energy costs and a reliable hot water supply. This setup not only optimizes efficiency but also provides peace of mind, knowing that your home will always have access to hot water regardless of gas supply issues or maintenance needs.
