FAQ on Renovating Your House If youre doing up your bathroom, youll inevitably be considering installing a water heater to combat the chilly weather in Singapore (or body aches). Scratching your head over what you should get? Then read on as we explore the 3 main types of water heaters available in the market today: storage, instant and gas. STORAGE: • Suitable for rain showers and bathtubs • Great for people who relish long baths due to the amount of hot water stored in the tank • Takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the water to be heated up • Hot water is only as much as the storage tank can hold so you need to heat up more if youve finished all the hot water • Uses electricity • Usually mounted near the ceiling in the bathroom • Start-up fee is lower than an instant or gas heater as you need to install only one for your bathrooms • May incur more expensive utility bills in the long run INSTANT: • Instantly heats up water for use in the shower • Great for people who prefer quick showers • Not suitable for rain showers and bathtubs due to its lower water pressure • Uses electricity • Start-up fee is higher because every bathroom will require it, but saves on the utility bills in the long run GAS: • Uses gas, which requires it to be installed in the service yard or kitchen • Requires additional pipes that are routed to your bathrooms • Takes a few seconds for the water to heat up • More ozone-friendly as it uses gas • Start-up fee is higher, but saves on the utility bills in the long run as the gas tariff is more affordable • You can visit citygas.sg for information on installation fees There are, of course, pros and cons to each type of heater so it all depends on your bathing needs.
