Based on the provided reference, the wattage a geyser uses varies depending on its capacity. There isn't a single exact number for all geysers.
A geyser's wattage, which indicates the power it consumes when heating water, is not a fixed value but typically ranges from 1000 Watts to 2000 Watts for common residential sizes, according to the reference. The specific wattage depends primarily on the geyser's capacity.
The reference provides the following information regarding average wattage based on geyser capacity:
| Geyser Capacity | Average Wattage | Approx. Geyser Consumption per Hour |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Litres | 1000 Watts | 1 kWh |
| 15 Litres | 1500 Watts | 1.5 kWh |
| 25 Litres | 2000 Watts | 2 kWh |
As shown in the table from the source, a smaller 10-litre geyser typically uses 1000 Watts, a medium 15-litre geyser uses around 1500 Watts, and a larger 25-litre geyser uses approximately 2000 Watts. This wattage is drawn when the heating element is actively working to raise the water temperature.
Understanding your geyser's wattage is helpful for estimating its electricity consumption, as higher wattage generally means faster heating but also higher instantaneous power draw.
