Choosing a Geyser

Instant or storage geyser — which should I buy?

Instant geysers heat water on demand and suit kitchens and single users; storage geysers hold heated water in a tank and are better for bathrooms and families.

What size (litres) geyser do I need?

A 1–3L instant geyser suits a kitchen tap; 6L works for one person; 10–15L is ideal for a family bathroom; 25L+ for high usage.

Which water heater brand is best?

Havells, Bajaj, AO Smith and Crompton are all strong choices. The right pick depends on capacity, features and budget — see our detailed guide.

Are 5-star geysers worth it?

Yes for regular use — a higher star rating means better insulation and lower electricity bills over time.

Safety & Installation

Is a geyser safe for hard water?

For hard water, choose a geyser with a glass-lined or corrosion-resistant tank and a good anode rod, and service it periodically.

Gas or electric geyser — which is better?

Electric geysers are the most common and easiest to install; gas geysers heat quickly and can be economical where piped gas is available, with proper ventilation.

Does Value Plus install geysers?

Yes. Value Plus offers delivery and installation support across its stores, plus easy EMI on leading bank cards.
