Comparing the two major electric water heaters, air energy not only wins in efficiency and capacity, but also wins in safety

Electric water heaters and air energy water heaters are both water heaters favored by many consumers. Their biggest common point: both need electricity to drive. The coexistence of the two in the market also gives users more choices.

However, the current situation is that although air-energy water heaters entered the market later than electric water heaters, they have shown a trend of catching up. The two generations of products have very different user experiences. The three points where air-energy water heaters are better than electric water heaters are efficiency, capacity, and safety.

Both require electricity to produce hot water. This means that their heating efficiency directly determines how much electricity the water heater consumes during use. In this era, the price of electricity is getting higher and higher, and more energy-saving products can be more popular with users.

The heating efficiency of electric water heaters is generally around 95%, which is not high. In contrast, the heating efficiency of air-energy water heaters is much higher than that of electric water heaters.

Due to design reasons, the water tank capacity of common models of electric water heaters is not large, usually 50~80L. An adult needs to consume 50L of hot water for a bath. This results in that during the peak bathing period at night, if a family wants to take a bath, they need to wait repeatedly, which greatly affects the bathing experience. Air-energy water heaters are different. Their capacity range is between 150L and 300L. With this design, one-time heating can meet the needs of the whole family for bathing, reducing the extra waiting time, which is more popular with users.

Because household appliances need to rely on electricity to drive, electrical safety is extremely important. When the electric water heater is heated, the electric heating tube is directly immersed in the inner tank of the water tank and contacts the water over a large area. Although this design brings faster heating speed, it often becomes a hidden danger of electric shock accidents. In the news, various electric shock accidents involving electric water heaters have also been constantly reminding everyone to pay attention to electrical safety.
As the latest generation of water heater products, air-energy water heaters have received attention to safety at the beginning of their design. Air-energy water heaters do not consume gas for heating, do not contain electric auxiliary heating, and separate water and electricity, which cuts off the dangerous hidden dangers of CO poisoning and equipment leakage from the source.
