Gas, Hybrid or Electric Geyser: Which Should You Buy?
Compare the price you pay today, the hot water you need and the energy you use afterwards. See how ordinary electric, gas and gas-electric hybrid geysers compare with an ELIOS inverter water heater.
Plain-English comparison
What each geyser type actually does
Swipe the table sideways to compare all four columns.
| Type | Energy source | How it heats | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary electric geyser | Electric resistance element or rod | Makes heat directly from electricity. | Element power, tank size, recovery time and circuit capacity. |
| Gas geyser | Natural gas or LPG burner | Burns gas to heat water. | Gas availability, ventilation, flue, pressure and safe combustion. |
| Hybrid gas + electric geyser | Gas burner plus electric element | Can use either of its two heating sources, depending on the model. | Which mode is automatic, fuel availability, wiring and ventilation. |
| ELIOS inverter water geyser | Electric compressor and outdoor unit | Moves heat from ambient air into stored water. | Tank size, outdoor airflow, installation site and measured operating data. |

2. A complete heating cycle
Compare the energy needed to heat the same amount of water through the same temperature rise. Ask for gas use in each hybrid mode. Rated watts alone cannot tell you which full tank costs less.
3. Your busiest hour
Count the showers and taps used close together. Compare stored hot water and reheating time. Check space, service access and the energy supply before choosing.

What will one heating cycle cost?
One electricity unit is one kilowatt-hour (kWh). Enter your electricity price per unit to estimate the cost of each published ELIOS heating example.
Rs 55 is an example, not a current tariff quote. Actual electricity rates vary. Replace it with the rate applicable to your bill; charges and taxes not included in that rate are excluded.
Estimated cycle cost = electricity units × your price per unit.

Where ELIOS fits
ELIOS Inverter Water Heater
Your Hot Water Genie
ELIOS runs on electricity and needs no gas connection. Its inverter outdoor unit moves heat into the stored water. If you are comparing an electric heater, gas geyser or hybrid water heater, check purchase price, fuel availability and running cost before choosing.

No gas? Hot water without a gas connection
Gas load shedding, an unavailable gas line or LPG refills can make a gas geyser difficult to use. An electric water heater is an alternative when a suitable electricity supply is available. ELIOS inverter water geysers need electricity, an outdoor unit and suitable plumbing, but no gas connection.
Hybrid geyser versus inverter geyser
A gas-plus-electric hybrid geyser offers two fuel options. ELIOS uses electricity only. Compare the hybrid model's gas and electric modes against ELIOS measured electricity use, outdoor-unit space and tank capacity. The better choice depends on your home and fuel supply.
Which water heater should I choose for winter?
Check the coldest outdoor and inlet-water temperatures, peak hot-water demand, fuel availability and heating time. Ask ELIOS to assess your site and compare the published measurement conditions with your home before ordering.

Choose by facts, not by the label
How do I compare geyser running costs?
For an electric water heater, multiply the electricity units used for one complete heating cycle by your price per unit. For gas or a gas-electric hybrid, ask for fuel consumption for the same water volume and starting and finishing temperatures. A wattage label alone does not tell you the cost of a full tank.
Is an ELIOS geyser a hybrid geyser?
ELIOS is not a gas-plus-electric hybrid geyser. It is an electrically powered inverter water heater with a compressor, outdoor unit and insulated storage tank.
What is the difference between an ordinary electric geyser and an inverter water geyser?
An ordinary electric geyser heats water with an electric element. An inverter water geyser uses electricity to run an outdoor compressor that moves heat from the air into the water. Compare measured electricity use, tank size and installation needs.
How do I get an ELIOS geyser quotation?
Request a quotation from ELIOS for the 100 L or 150 L model. The team confirms equipment, freight and installation charges for your city and site.
Can a comparison guarantee my monthly saving?
No. Actual electricity or gas cost depends on water use, inlet temperature, weather, tariff, installation, controls and other household appliances. Measured electricity-use figures help you compare options; actual bills vary.
