When it comes to water heaters, Ariston ranks among the most reputable brands. The Italian water heater brand is best known for their attention to detail and long-lasting quality products. In fact, their Aures Luxury Round Instant Water Heater and Lydos Hybrid Storage Water Heater were awarded the Good Designs Awards, by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design.

Our recommendations for this water heater brand:

Meet the Ariston Andris Slim2 Lux 30L Wifi Storage Water Heater, a Wifi-enabled storage water heater that can be controlled using the Aqua Ariston Net App. You’d be able to manage water temperatures, receive real-time notifications for your shower, set shower preferences, change working modes, and monitor energy consumption levels of your device – all from your smartphone! The smart water heater is also equipped with a proprietary energy-saving algorithm that records your shower patterns to provide hot water exactly when and how you need it. 

Otherwise, choose the Ariston Aures Premium + PUMP & Rainshower Instant Water Heater, which comes in a sleek, space-saving design. I love the Ariston Aures Premium series because it has an in-built silent water pump for a zen and luxurious spa-like shower experience. The set also comes with a rain shower and free installation which is a bonus!

This American brand is known for its robust and energy-efficient products, including tankless water heaters, traditional storage units, and heating and cooling systems. Today, Rheem’s water heaters remain popular among Singaporean households thanks to their simplicity and reliability.  

Our recommendations for this water heater brand: 

If you are looking for a sturdy storage water heater, I recommend the Rheem 85VP6S Classic Storage Water Heater, a vertical storage water heater that is available in different capacities. Like many of the best storage water heaters, the Rheem 85VP6S boasts a high-quality sacrificial magnesium anode rod to combat corrosion. Additional safety features include an inbuilt temperature and pressure relief valve that prevents temperature and pressure build-up. Its thermal cutout function also helps avoid accidental scalding. 

If you prefer a tankless model, the Rheem Prestige Platinum Instant Water Heater is one of the best. Prefer to shower at a specific temperature? This water heater has a touch-sensitive LCD display which allows for precise temperature control up to -/+ 1°C.

3. Joven 

Joven has long been one of the most trusted water heater brands in the market, and some might even say Joven water heaters fare better than Rheem. While Rheem water heaters typically offer larger water storage capacities, I find that Joven water heaters are typically quicker and more efficient at heating. 

Our recommendations for this water heater brand: 

The JSH35 (3W) Storage Water Heater 35L easily tops the charts as one of the best storage water heaters in Singapore. This JSH35 Horizontal Storage water heater is Joven’s newest yet best-selling model, boasting a new Quad Safety System with features like: safety pressure relief and drain valve, thermostat, safety cut-out and dry burn protection. Made with Joven’s Heat Elevator technology, this storage water heater helps save energy consumption by 20% while accelerating heat time as well. 

Joven has multiple instant water heater series, but my favourite is the Joven SB11 Rainshower Instant Water Heater. The SB11 comes with a larger five-spray hand bar, a rotatable rainshower bar and a double layer 2K spray paint finish so your water heater won’t tarnish easily. The most noticeable difference between the other models is the SB11’s extra power On/Off power knob that provides extra safety protection when not in use.

While Champs does offer storage options, their instant models are particularly popular. Here are some of the best Champs instant water heaters in Singapore.

Our recommendations for this water heater brand: 

My personal favourite is the Champs Legend Electric Instant Shower Heater, which comes in two staple colours: Matt Black and Pearl White. This Champs water heater is highly sought after for its advanced features like its high precision power selector which makes control over water temperature easy. Champs’ tanks are also constructed with durable polymer material that saves energy by minimising heat loss. Despite its advanced features, the Champs Legend is still simple-to-use — just turn the knobs for adjustments to your shower!

For a more budget-friendly option, consider the Champs Aries Copper Tank Instant Water Heater with Shower Holder Set. Despite its affordability, this model doesn’t skimp on features.

On the other hand, the Mistral Instant Shower Heater MSH303I is a more traditional model that remains one of the brand’s top sellers. Perfect for those seeking a dependable, no-frills option, the MSH303I combines simplicity with long-lasting performance.

Panasonic’s global reputation as a pioneer in electronics extends to water heaters too. Often recognised for their excellence in air conditioning systems, Panasonic doesn’t disappoint with its water heating solutions either.

Our recommendation for this water heater brand: 

Panasonic has two models of electric water heaters: U and V series. Between the two, I recommend the U series — Panasonic’s premium range of instant water heaters launched in 2022. 

The Panasonic U-Series Water Heater DH-3US1SS / DH-3US1SW offers a stylish and classy design ideal for modern bathrooms. However, this instant water heater is more than just aesthetic.

8. Bennington

Although Bennington may be a newer player in the market (founded locally in 2002), they stand out as one of the best water heater manufacturers in Singapore. Specialising in Multipoint Instant Electric Water Heaters (IEWHs), Bennington combines the water flow rate of storage heaters with the convenience of instant heaters. Designed to be compact, Bennington water heaters are ideal for small spaces, making them a perfect fit for BTO flats.

Our recommendation for this water heater brand:

Among the three available models, my top pick is the Bennington S630M Multipoint Instantaneous /Electric Water Heater. What sets this model apart is its MMTA-100 tank. It’s made of a glass-filled nylon material, which enhances insulation for superior hot water output. And of course, this water heater possesses essential safety features like anti-scalding protection, manual reset thermal cut-off, high-pressure protection, and indicators for overheating and power. With its “retro design,” the S630M model is perfect for those seeking more than functionality in a water heater.

9. Rinnai

Rinnai, a trusted local brand, exclusively offers instant water heaters that include either a rain or hand shower attachment. The models are available in two key variants: the A330 and B330. Additionally, you can choose options with a DC Inverter Pump, which is an energy-efficient feature that consumes less power.

Our recommendation for this water heater brand:

The main distinction between the two models lies in the B330’s anti-twist hose and its larger 8.5-inch rain showerhead. If you’re picky, I highly recommend this Rinnai Electric Instant Water Heater. Its high price point may be daunting, but it’s completely justifiable. Equipped with Rinnai’s most advanced features, the heater’s auto flow sensor switch and anti-leak heater tank warrants highest levels of safety to forestall fires and explosions.

With safety guaranteed, we can’t forget to share about this heater’s UK technology copper heating element. It ensures water heats up quickly, which is a big plus for those rushed mornings.

Our recommendations for this water heater brand: 

I’ve been using the 707 Kensington 25 Storage Water Heater for a while now, and it’s been a great addition to my home. One thing that stands out is its Whirlflow 2 Technology — it provides hot water more quickly. But that doesn’t mean the heater is using more energy. It’s actually keeping the hot and cold water separate. So far, it’s turned out great for my family since I always go with hot showers while everyone else takes lukewarm or cold ones. 

If you prefer instant water heaters, 707 Kingston Instant Water Heater With Rain Shower performs equally as well!  This is the best instant water heater that comes with an 11-inch wide rain shower head and a three-way massage hand shower for a truly luxurious experience.

Types of water heaters in Singapore

• Storage water heater 

• Instant water heater 

Also known as tankless or demand-type water heaters, instant water heaters heat up cold water as it flows through the device. Most of the best instant water heaters in Singapore today are electrically powered, meaning that water is heated using a heating element within the device. 

Unlike storage water heaters, instant water heaters do not come with an internal storage tank to store leftover heated water. In addition, most of the best instant water heaters in Singapore connect to a single outlet instead of multiple outlets, and can be installed within the bathroom.

How do I choose a water heater? 

Before you dive right into it, here are some of the most important factors to consider when picking the best water heater in Singapore for your needs!

1. Space 

Before committing to a water heater, make sure you’ve set aside enough space for the device. Storage water heaters tend to be bulkier than instant ones, so the latter might be more suitable for smaller homes. Good news for owners of new BTO flats – they come with a pre-built nook designed to fit a storage water heater!

2. Storage capacity 

Another factor to consider is the number of people in your household. While the best storage water heaters in Singapore can hold a considerable amount of water, they might not be able to provide sufficient hot water for larger households. If you’re from a large family or have a penchant for taking long showers, an instant water heater might be a more practical option.

3. Number of outlets 

The number of outlets you’re planning to connect your water heater to is another factor to consider. Smaller households with only one bathroom should consider installing an instant water heater. On the flip side, a storage water heater would be a better option for those planning to connect your water heater to multiple points within the home. (Note: storage water heaters are the only viable option if you’d like hot water for appliances like sinks and dishwashers.)

4. Budget 

In general, storage water heaters will set you back more than instant water heaters. This is largely due to the higher upfront cost and more complex installation process. However, the best storage water heaters in Singapore generally boast longer lifespans, and can service multiple outlets within the home. If you’re on a tighter budget or simply don’t require a water heater of such large capacity, instant water heaters are the obvious choice. Our advice? Pick a water heater capable of meeting your needs and lasting through the years – even if it means splurging a little!

5. Lifestyle

Last but not least, you should also take into account lifestyle choices and personal preferences. The best storage water heaters in Singapore are generally known to deliver a more consistent flow of warm water as opposed to instant water heaters, which heat up water only when necessary. If you enjoy taking long, hot showers, choosing a storage water heater would be a no-brainer for you. Those who prize their bathroom aesthetics should also consider storage water heaters, which can be installed in more discreet corners of the house. However, if you’re more interested in an energy-efficient water heater, an instant water heater would be the better option.

How often should a water heater be replaced? 

Most water heaters have a lifespan of around eight to 10 years. Factors that affect its lifespan include quality and design, installation location, maintenance schedule, and water quality. Not sure if your water heater is due for a replacement? Here are some signs to look out for: 

• Lukewarm or cold water
• Cloudy or rusty water 
• Rumbling or hissing noises from the water heater
• Leaking near the water heater 

While you might be tempted to try fixing your water heater yourself, I recommend leaving the job to professionals. Improper repair work can lead to undesirable consequences, ranging from drainage issues to even explosions. However, depending on the severity of the issue, a repair job can cost anywhere between $80 to $380. In most cases, you would be better off replacing the appliance entirely! 

How safe is your water heater? 

 Water heaters can pose a fire hazard if installed incorrectly. To prevent accidents, here are some tips to help protect you and your family from potential safety risks.

• Before purchase, always check for a SAFETY Mark. Water heaters in Singapore are required to have a SAFETY Mark as they are classified as Controlled Goods under the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Registration Scheme. The SAFETY Mark indicates that the water heater has been tested and fulfils safety requirements. 
• Always hire a licensed electrical worker to install your water heater. You can easily verify a professional’s licence on the EMA (Energy Market Authority) website. 
• Ensure your water heater is ventilated to prevent overheating and to air out toxic gases, like carbon monoxide, released during combustion. It may also be best to install a carbon monoxide detector if you don’t have one at home already.
• Conduct routine tests on your residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) and water heater’s pressure relief valve, to prevent electric shocks and explosions.
