How to Choose a Water Heater: Complete Buyer's Guide

Types of Water Heaters

Choosing a water heater is an important decision that affects your comfort for years. Let's consider the main types and their advantages.

Storage Tank Water Heater

The most popular type for apartments. Heats and stores hot water in a tank.

  • Volume: 30 to 200 liters
  • Power: 1.5-3 kW
  • Heating time: 30-120 minutes depending on volume
  • Price: from 3,000 to 15,000 UAH

Ideal for: apartments with 1-4 residents.

Tankless Electric

Heats water instantly when the tap is opened. No tank space needed.

  • Power: 3-27 kW
  • Pros: compact, unlimited hot water
  • Cons: requires heavy-duty wiring

Gas Water Heater

Tankless gas water heater. More economical than electric but requires a chimney and ventilation.

Indirect Heating Boiler

Connects to the heating boiler. Ideal for private houses with autonomous heating.

What to Pay Attention To

  • Tank volume — calculate 25-30 liters per resident
  • Heating element power — determines heating speed
  • Tank material — stainless steel lasts longer than enamel
  • Heating element type — "dry" element doesn't contact water and lasts longer
  • Energy efficiency class — A or higher for savings
