Geyser Price in Nepal
Geyser buying guide: size, wattage and wiring
Pick a geyser by how many people will use it, then check its power rating and the wiring it needs before the fitter comes.
1. Choose the size for your family
Racold, a water heater maker, suggests 6 litres for 1 to 2 people, 10 to 15 litres for 3 to 5, 15 to 25 litres for 6 to 9, and 25 to 35 litres for larger families (Racold). Our Havells storage geysers come in 15 and 25 litres. A family of four sharing one bathroom fits the 15 litre, such as the Havells PURO EX 15-Litre. If six or more people bathe one after another in the morning, take the 25 litre.
2. Storage geyser or instant heater
A storage geyser heats a tank of water and keeps it hot, so several people can use it in a row. An instant heater has no tank and heats water within seconds as it flows. A storage geyser takes more wall space and doesn't suit very small bathrooms (Racold). The Instant Electric Heating Water Faucet on this page is a tap that heats water as it runs, for a kitchen sink or wash basin.
3. Check the wattage and the wiring
Havells rates the PURO EX at 2000 W on 230V, which draws 8.7 A. Its manual asks for a C 16 A double-pole MCB or a 16 A fuse as backup protection, and a 3-pin plug with proper earthing (Havells). An ordinary 5 A socket isn't enough, so have an electrician check the bathroom point before you buy. Some Havells storage geysers also offer three heating modes of 1, 2 and 3 kW (Havells). Check the product page to see which model has them.
For a sense of running cost, heating 15 litres of water from 20°C to 55°C takes about 0.6 units of electricity, which a 2000 W element does in under 20 minutes, before heat losses. A 25 litre tank takes about 1 unit. Switching off once the water is hot saves the standby loss.
4. Pressure and the safety valve
Havells rates the PURO EX for 0.8 MPa (8 bar) water pressure, with IPX4 splash protection (Havells), and its catalogue says that pressure rating suits high-rise buildings (Havells). The same catalogue says Havells' multi-function valve stops the pressure rising beyond 8 bar, so make sure the fitter installs it with the geyser.

Geyser FAQ
What size geyser do I need?
For 3 to 5 people, a 15 litre geyser is usually enough. For six or more people, or if everyone showers back to back in the morning, get a 25 litre.
How much electricity does a geyser use?
A 2000 W geyser uses 1 unit for every half hour its element is on. Heating a full 15 litre tank from 20°C to 55°C takes about 0.6 units, and a 25 litre tank about 1 unit. Colder winter water takes a little more.
What MCB and socket does a geyser need?
Havells asks for a C 16 A double-pole MCB or a 16 A fuse for the PURO EX, with a properly earthed 3-pin plug. Don't run a 2000 W geyser from a 5 A socket or an extension cord.
Which geyser brands do you sell?
Havells storage geysers (PURO EX, Puro Turbo and Puro Turbo DX), plus an instant electric heating water faucet. Every price on this page is our current website price.
