Water Heaters - Buy Crompton & Polycab Instant & Storage Geysers Online

A water heater is one of those appliances nobody thinks about until a cold morning shower reminds them. The right geyser delivers reliable hot water at the temperature and volume a household needs, safely and without wasting electricity; the wrong one runs out mid-shower or quietly inflates the power bill. At Fixxly, our water heaters range covers Crompton and Polycab - instant water heaters for quick, on-demand hot water and storage water heaters for larger, sustained use, across the capacities that suit bathrooms and kitchens. This guide explains the types of water heaters, how to size a geyser, and how to choose one that is safe and efficient.

Types of water heaters

Instant water heater

An instant water heater, or instant geyser, heats water on demand as it flows through, delivering hot water within seconds without storing it. Crompton and Polycab both offer compact instant models ideal for kitchens and small bathrooms, efficient for short, quick uses because they only heat water when you need it.

Storage water heater

A storage water heater holds a tank of water and keeps it hot, ready to deliver a larger volume when needed. It is the right choice for bathrooms where a full shower or bucket bath is wanted. Crompton and Polycab storage geysers come in a range of capacities to match household demand, with good insulation to hold heat efficiently between uses.

How to size a water heater

• Kitchen and handwash use: a small Crompton or Polycab instant water heater is usually enough.
• Single bathroom, one or two people: a modest storage geyser covers showers and bucket baths comfortably.
• Family bathroom or higher demand: a larger storage capacity ensures hot water does not run out during back-to-back use.

Safety features to look for

• A thermostat controls the temperature and prevents overheating.
• A pressure-release safety valve protects the tank from excess pressure.
• Automatic thermal cut-off shuts the heater off if it overheats.
• Proper earthing and a dedicated, correctly protected circuit are essential for safe operation.

Matching the water heater to your household routine

The best water heater choice follows directly from how and when your household uses hot water. A home where hot water is needed in short bursts is well served by a compact Crompton or Polycab instant heater, while a home where the main need is bathing benefits from a storage heater sized so it does not run out during use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fixxly stock genuine Crompton and Polycab water heaters?

Yes - every water heater on Fixxly in this range is genuine Crompton or Polycab, both well-established names in Indian home appliances.

What is the difference between an instant and a storage water heater?

An instant water heater heats water on demand as it flows through, delivering hot water in seconds but at a limited volume, ideal for kitchens. A storage water heater keeps a tank of water hot to deliver a larger volume, suiting full showers and bucket baths.

Should a water heater be on its own circuit?

Yes. Because a water heater draws a high current, it should be on its own dedicated circuit with correctly rated protection rather than sharing a circuit with other loads, and it must be properly earthed.
