A water heater is an essential part of everyday living for every family in Dubai but is often taken for granted. If you wake up one morning expecting to take a warm shower and end up in the freezing cold instead, it is probably the unfortunate sign that you need to replace your water heater. Replacing your old water heater can be a difficult task especially if you have never purchased one before. In this article, we’ve compiled some useful tips to help you choose a Dubai-efficient electric water heater.
Energy Efficient
If you are going to be going through the cost of purchasing a new water heater, you might as well buy patio heater that will serve you well in the long run. The new energy-efficient water heaters perform up to 50% more efficiently than the old conventional ones. The new design technology that comes with the upgraded units allows for faster heating of water and better heat retention. This way you will be cutting down on energy usage two-fold!
Tankless Water Heater
Tankless water heaters are a relatively new arrival to the energy-efficient water heating game. This nifty technology does not require a storage tank at all. No storage tank means no means to store water thus saving you space. This water heater system is also referred to as an ‘on-demand’ water heater which means exactly what you think: your water is heated as soon as you turn on the tap!
Solar-Power
Solar energy might not be a new invention, but it is definitely one that remains at the top of the clean energy list. Solar power is especially effective in Dubai because of the sunny conditions. With a solar-powered water heater system, you will be able to save up to 90% on your energy bill and repay the initial cost of the solar setup in no-time. This is especially great if you already have solar panels for your home.
Condensing Water Heater System
If you want to go the environmental route, then a condensing water heater system is the way to go. This design recycles the fumes produced by gas that has already been consumed elsewhere in the home, e.g.: the oven or heater. These fumes are then used to heat the water in the storage tank saving significant amounts on energy costs. If you have the room for this system, then it is worth investigating.
How to Choose the Right One for You?
While all of these designs are energy-efficient, the system that you choose will depend on your preferences, current energy infrastructure and your budget. But one thing is for sure: if you are looking to save energy you will be able to do so with any of the above systems and all of them are available right here in Dubai. Become more energy-efficient and save money at the same time – sounds like the perfect combo.
