An electric water heater heats water using an immersed resistance heating element powered by mains electricity. Available in storage-tank and tankless forms, it is valued for simple installation, no combustion or flue, and near-100% point-of-use conversion of electricity to heat.
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Energy source | Electricity (mains) |
| Type | Storage-tank or tankless/instantaneous |
| Capacity range | Storage: ~10–500 L typical; tankless rated by flow/kW |
| Power/rating | ~1.5–5 kW residential storage; higher for tankless (varies) |
| Efficiency | Near 100% at point of use (resistance); confirm per datasheet |
| Safety | Thermostat, high-limit cutout, pressure/temperature relief valve |
| Standard | Per destination market (e.g. IEC/UL/CE) — confirm against datasheet |
Indicative / typical values for planning — actual products vary by manufacturer and standard. Confirm the final spec sheet before ordering; we do not publish fixed prices, request a quote for current offers.
Suited to homes, apartments, and light commercial settings where gas is unavailable or a simple, flue-free installation is preferred. Tankless models fit point-of-use applications like a single bathroom or kitchen.
