Water Heating News
March 26, 2025
An immersion heater is a type of electrical heater used to heat water, by directly immersing a heating element into the liquid. It typically consists of a metal heating element that is placed inside a tank, vessel, or container filled with the liquid to be heated. When electricity passes through the element, it generates heat, which is transferred to the liquid surrounding it.

Although air source heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular for their energy efficiency and environmental benefits, they are also getting some misleading and bad press from people suggesting that they don’t work well, the water isn’t hot enough, or you need to have super-efficient levels of insulation before you can even think about getting one.

When it comes to choosing the right size cylinder for your home, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It really depends on your household's needs, and getting it right means you won't be running out of hot water or overpaying for energy. So, how do you figure it out?
The Risks of Choosing the Wrong Size
First things first, a hot water cylinder that's too small can cause frustration. You'll find yourself waiting for water to heat up when it runs out - especially when everyone needs a shower or a bath at the same time. On the other hand, if your cylinder is too big, you could see higher bills because you're constantly heating what that isn't being used.

A question we get asked here a lot at Electrical Deals Direct is "How do I dispose of my CO2 gas canister?" and we aim to answer that with this article!
