1. Identifying the Water Heater Product 

  • Fuel Used

The most common and popular types of water heaters are gas and electricity-fueled ones. If you decided to use a gas-fueled water heater, pay attention to the type of gas used so there will not be a problem when using it or when refilling the tank. Gas fueled is quite practical because you can easily monitor its use and quickly find out when it runs out.


An electric water heater is more convenient, easy to control, practical and economical. You can manage its use as efficiently as possible to suit your need. If you plan to travel for a long period, you can also turn it off to save energy and electricity.


  • Energy Efficiency

Whatever source of fuel you choose, a water heater is a household appliance that requires a lot of energy. The best solution is to choose a water heater that prioritizes energy saving. This is vital because your hot water needs will be fulfilled yet environmentally friendly.


  • Tank Type and Storage Capacity

The main function of a water heater is to heat and store water so that it will stay hot when used. This information is crucial since continuous heating is wasting energy, and it takes a while to preheat the incoming cold water.


To overcome this issue, you can use water heater types that do not use tanks such as ARISTON Aures Smart, an instant electric water heating system that can provide warm water comfort for you quickly. It only requires 2400 watts of electricity with a tank that has a space-saving slim shape with dimensions of 23 x 9 x 39 cm.

You can use a water heater that is ideally sized and slim but still able to supply the amount of water suitable for your family's needs. The key is to make the best use of your space.
