Standing loss is the figure nobody publishes and the reason a geyser costs more to run than people expect: leaving it switched on wastes roughly 0.6 kWh a day doing nothing but keeping water hot, which is about Rs1,750 a year for no benefit.
Full details →Who the Elica 60cm 1200 m³/hr Filterless Auto-Clean Kitchen Chimney is for
Buy it if: Apartment kitchens with a 60 cm hob and regular frying or tempering, where mesh filters clog quickly.
Avoid it if: Large or open kitchens, and heavy commercial-style cooking, which need 1400 m³/hr or more and a 90 cm width.
Who the AO Smith HAS-X1-025 Storage 25-Litre Vertical Water Heater is for
Buy it if: Families of three to four needing consistent hot water at 8 bar pressure for a high-rise.
Avoid it if: Single users needing hot water occasionally -- an instant heater wastes nothing on standing loss.
