Choosing an Energy Saving Water Heater

An energy saving water heater should provide enough hot water for your household without storing considerably more water than you regularly need. Choosing the correct capacity is therefore just as important as comparing the technology and features of each model.

Energy consumption can be influenced by the heater’s capacity, insulation, thermostat setting, installation and daily hot-water use. Smart controls and absence modes may also help reduce unnecessary heating when hot water is not required.

What Is Atlantic Steatite Technology?

Steatite is Atlantic’s name for a dry ceramic heating-element system. Unlike a conventional immersed element, the Steatite element is enclosed in a protective sleeve and does not come into direct contact with the stored water.

This design helps reduce direct scale formation on the heating element and can make maintenance more straightforward. It is particularly useful where mineral buildup is a concern, including many installations in Malta.

Steatite technology supports durability and consistent operation. However, it should not be treated as the only factor affecting electricity consumption. The heater’s insulation, capacity, controls, temperature setting and usage pattern also influence its overall efficiency.

Standard, Slim or WiFi Water Heater?

Standard vertical Steatite models provide a practical solution for conventional wall installations. Slim and multiposition models can be considered where wall width or installation space is limited.

Atlantic Vertigo WiFi models combine a flatter design with connected controls on compatible models. Depending on the selected unit, these controls may allow users to manage settings, use an absence mode or adjust operation according to their routine.

Available features differ between models, so always check the individual product specifications before choosing.

Choosing the Correct Capacity

A smaller water heater may be appropriate for limited hot-water requirements, while larger households or properties using several outlets may require greater storage capacity.

The correct choice depends on:

• The number of people using hot water
• Whether the heater supplies a sink, shower or several outlets
• How frequently hot water is used
• The available installation space
• Whether hot water is normally required at the same time

Choosing a unit that is too small may leave you without enough hot water. An unnecessarily large cylinder may heat and maintain more stored water than your household requires.

Installation and Efficient Operation

Professional installation helps the water heater operate safely and reliably. The electrical supply, water pressure, safety valve, pressure controls and pipework must comply with the selected model’s requirements.

Once installed, avoid maintaining a higher temperature than necessary, use available scheduling or absence features appropriately, and follow the manufacturer’s operating guidance. Features and recommended settings vary by model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Steatite technology reduce electricity consumption?

Steatite technology mainly concerns the heating element’s design, durability and protection from direct water contact. Electricity consumption also depends on the heater’s insulation, capacity, controls, temperature setting and daily usage.

Is a Steatite water heater suitable for Malta?

A Steatite model can be particularly useful where mineral buildup is a concern because its ceramic heating element is housed separately from the stored water. The correct model must still be selected according to capacity, installation and household demand.

Is a WiFi water heater more energy efficient?

WiFi controls can help users manage schedules, settings and absence periods on compatible models. Their effectiveness depends on how the controls are used and the efficiency specifications of the individual heater.
